• Defino los términos "padres fundadores" y "fundadores" en sentido amplio para incluir a toda una generación o dos de estadounidenses de muchas clases sociales que, en la última mitad del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX, articularon los derechos de los colonos, aseguraron la independencia de Gran Bretaña y establecieron nuevas repúblicas constitucionales tanto a nivel nacional como estatal. Esta definición incluye a un elenco de miles de personas que desempeñaron su papel patriótico a nivel local, estatal y/o nacional. Entre ellos había ciudadanos soldados, representantes electos, polemistas y predicadores patriotas.

• Cuando empecé a implicarme en el problema de la delincuencia, la gente decía: "es un problema local". Yo decía: "No, hay muchas maneras en que el gobierno federal puede ayudar". Y la mejor manera en que el gobierno federal puede ayudar, y lo hizo en la Ley contra el Crimen, es encontrar programas que funcionen en todo el país y ayudar a que se extiendan.

• Sigue siendo tarea de los gobiernos aplicar las normas fundamentales de derechos humanos que deberían influir en todos los aspectos de la globalización, incluidas incluso las conversaciones comerciales, y rendir cuentas de ello de forma democrática. La estructura es internacional, pero la rendición de cuentas es nacional y me gustaría que esa rendición de cuentas penetrara más a nivel regional y local, especialmente en los sistemas federales.

• When I was young, it was sort of built to intimidate. Even on this very local level in this very small church in this small town, it still held that sort of - held you in the palm of its darkness.

• Una vez, la Biblioteca del Congreso estaba regalando libros sobre el islam a bibliotecas locales de todo el país. La biblioteca de un tipo llamado Walter Jones, que es miembro del Congreso por Carolina del Norte, recibió algunos libros y material de consulta, y se presentó ante la prensa y dijo que no quería ningún libro musulmán en la biblioteca. Y la gente dijo: "Un momento, eso es algo antimusulmán". Él dijo: "Oh, no, Keith Ellison es un amigo mío." Y yo dije: "¿Sabes qué? Somos amigos, pero te equivocas en esto.

• My family, before the divorce, moved several times, and after that we moved a whole bunch more times, and so I don't have an anchor to a single place. Probably as a result of that, I'm a little more attenuated to when people do feel close identification to place, whether they say it out aloud or not. I think that there's a sort of local patriotism that is deeper than national patriotism.

• Tienes que mostrar una cara diferente cuando interactúas con el resto de la cultura. Y puedes ser más tú mismo en casa o en el mercado local o en la iglesia local hablando tu propio idioma. Esa fue mi sensación al crecer como refugiado vietnamita en San José.

• Not a few organizations exist in our country which function poorly. Sometimes it happens that this or that local government or organ have to satisfy one or another of the many-sided and ever increasing demands of the working population of town and countryside.

• The Germans, for example, have some kind of compromise between single-member and broader districts. In Israel, you have nothing, you have only a national election. You have no local districts at all. And that's because of the idea that in addition to other ideological differences, locality matters. The question is does the congressman represent his district and the interests of his district? And as I said there's quite a variety of systems the democratic world. The implications need to be examined.

• Many social critics wag their fingers at what they perceive to be frivolous luxury spending. But that misses the point that consumption norms are local. It's not just the rich who spend more when they get more money. Everyone else does, too. The mansions of the rich may seem over the top to people in the middle, but the same could be said of middle-class houses as seen by most of the planet's seven billion people.

• My idea was always to start with a small press and then move up to a national press. I had those goals for my career from the time I was a very young woman. I wanted to win a local award, then I wanted a state or national award. Small press, big press. Some women fantasize about their weddings, their husbands, and children. I fantasized about what I wanted to accomplish with my books.

• It goes to local authorities and even to members of Parliament so that individual citizens almost become people who want to sit and wait for their member of Parliament to come and solve the problem. Now that won't take you anywhere. And if you follow it, you will see that it feeds corruption in the country.

• There are certain areas where foreign investors can help the local people to generate wealth, and improve their quality of life. Some companies, for example, Del Monte, which produces pineapples in Kenya, pay a huge amount of taxes, I am sure, to the Kenyan government, and they do create jobs for thousands of locals.

• Now when Nile perch was introduced [into Lake Victoria], I don't think enough research was done; maybe it was done, maybe it was not. But Nile perch is a huge fish. So it ate all the little fish, and it grew into a monster which the local people could not fish with their little boats and their little nets.

• La mayoría de nuestros competidores en todo el mundo tienen un sistema educativo nacional y Estados Unidos es la única gran nación del mundo que funciona a partir de consejos escolares locales. Reciben muy poca orientación de los consejos estatales de educación o de la nación. Así que los consejos escolares locales dirigen básicamente lo que sucede y con demasiada frecuencia no están dispuestos a realizar un seguimiento o a llevar a cabo la supervisión del sistema educativo que lo hará competitivo a nivel mundial.

• International "experts" from technical assistance agencies or universities can make important contributions, but they certainly don't have all the answers. When ownership is local and national, and various stakeholders work together, program innovations have a greater chance to take root and survive.
