“I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world."[As quoted in Plutarch's Of Banishment]”
“The Athenians, front-fighters of the Greeks, at Marathon destroyed the power of the gold-bearing Medes.”
“I am a citizen of the world.”
“I'll betide thee, say I, and may the Gods, or at least the Athenians, confound thee for a vile citizen and a vile third-rate actor! Read the evidence.”
“I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth; I am a citizen of the world.”
