The world is my country, mankind are my friends, to do good is my religion.

O mundo é meu país, os humanos são meus irmãos e fazer o bem é minha religião.

Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.

The world is my country, science is my religion.

My religion is kindness.

Dedicate the precious days of your lives to the betterment of the world

In stating these matters, I speak an open and disinterested language, dictated by no passion but that of humanity. To me, who have not only refused offers, because I thought them improper, but have declined rewards I might with reputation have accepted, it is no wonder that meanness and imposition appear disgustful. Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.

Do real and permanent good in this world.

I am in the world to change the world

Our country is the world — our countrymen are all mankind.

I am willing to serve my country, but my worship I reserve for Right which is far greater than my country. To worship my country as a god is to bring a curse upon it.

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.

Our country, which we do not
forsake for being un-great, that
we should find by being good.

I love my country too, and its hopes for freedom and justice. But the boundaries of what I honor are bigger than the republic. Let us pledge reciprocity with the living world.
