"We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood"
- Lyndon B. Johnson
About this Quote
This quote by Lyndon B. Johnson talks to the idea that, while the world has actually ended up being progressively interconnected, we have yet to reach a point of true worldwide unity. In other words, while the world has actually lessened and more available, we have yet to develop a sense of brotherhood and understanding in between all people. This quote suggests that, while we may be living in a world that is more linked than ever previously, we still have a long way to precede we can truly call ourselves an international community. We should make every effort to produce a world where people of all backgrounds and cultures can come together in peace and understanding. Just then can we truly state that we have expanded into a brotherhood.
