If everyone saw himself as a citizen of the world rather than of his town, city or country, the world would be a more peaceful, better place where success in all forms is abundant and available to all.

About This Quote

The quote above was written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who said that everyone needs to see themselves as a citizen of the world rather than of their town, city or country. He went on to say that if we all looked at ourselves as citizens of the world we would all share the same goal and we would work together to achieve it. If we all view ourselves as citizens of the world it would make us less likely to do things that might hurt other people because we would be more concerned with what others think about us and how they will react to our actions. Taking this idea into consideration, we might also think twice before doing something that would cause harm to others because we might realize that they will be affected by our actions and they might retaliate.
