Jimmy Carter

13. “Fear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment.

23. “The United States has every reason from history and geopolitics to bolster the European Union and prevent its drifting off into a geopolitical vacuum; the United States, if separated from Europe in politics, economics, and defense, would become geopolitically an island off the shores of Eurasia, and Europe itself could turn into an appendage to the reaches of Asia and the Middle East.” Henry Kissinger Us, European Union, Geopolitics, Defense, Separation
24. “There is not, beneath the sky, an enemy to filial affection so destructive as slavery.

The thought which gave us the most pain was the probable separation which would now take place in case we were sold off to the far south as we were likely to do.” Frederick Douglass Freedom, Brotherhood, Sacrifice, Struggle, Separation
34. “Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.” Dwight L. Moody Worldliness, Christian Life, Separation, Spiritual Focus, Purity
43. “God; I esteem it above all things necessary to distinguish exactly the business of civil government from that of religion and to settle the just bounds that lie between the one and the other. If this be not done, there can be no end put to the controversies that will be always arising between those that have, or at least pretend to have, on the one side, a concernment for the interest of men’s souls, and, on the other side, a care of the commonwealth.” John Locke Religion, Government, Separation, Controversy, Society
