Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.

We do not covet anything from any nation except their respect.

We are in really bad shape as a country. We are not respected around the world. We are not respected in our own country.

Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, our nation is stronger when we are respected throughout the world.

I think clearly the United States, as well as other western nations, should stand by their commitments to human rights and democracy and should try to influence other countries to move in that direction.

We have a lot of bad leaders around the world that operate in ways we would never tolerate in the United States.

On one side, citizens have great respect for the United States; they have a great feeling of friendship. That is solid. But in the opposition and in the political arena I often find criticism of the closeness of relations with the United States. That is a reality.

The love of domination and an uncontrolled lust of arbitrary power have prevailed among all nations and perhaps in proportion to the degrees of civilization.

While The United States is the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, it is also the most detested nation that the world has ever known.

The world is full of nations that are part of the community of nations that don't respect rights.
