The reason that a good citizen does not use such destructive means to become wealthier is that, if everyone did so, we would all become poorer from the mutual destructiveness.

Every good citizen adds to the strength of a nation.

The paradigm of competition is a race: by rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone to run faster. When capitalism really works this way, it does a good job; but its defenders are wrong in assuming it always works this way.

I don't want to run for governor, but I don't think anyone should put public service out of the question because that's not what a good citizen does.

I'm still a proud Irishman, of course, but I've become an American citizen. I'm very, very proud of that.

I could not become an American citizen. I would not like to become a citizen of a country that has capital punishment.
