Walls don't work. ... Instead of building walls to create security, we need to build bridges.

James G. Stavridis

Bridges are burning all around us; bridges to responses that might have mitigated the already brutal (and just beginning) ravages of Peak Oil; bridges to reduce the likelihood of war and famine; bridges to avoid our selectively chosen suicide; bridges to change at least a part of energy infrastructure and consumption; bridges to becoming something better than we are or have been; bridges to non-violence. Those bridges are effectively gone.

Michael Ruppert

In the 20th century, we built a lot of walls - we endlessly tried to build walls between us and people we perceived, correctly or incorrect, as our enemies. In the 21st century, because of the advent of networks, the free movement of goods and people across the globe, we need to build security by building bridges instead of building walls.

James G. Stavridis

Let's build bridges, not walls.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Democracy is to have different ideas, even extreme ones. In democracy there is space for all of them and bridges to connect them. In Turkey we are losing those bridges, and everyone is trying to destroy spaces for the opposite side. When we look at this, Istanbul is like different courtyards divided by big, thick walls.

Burhan Sonmez

We build too many walls and not enough bridges.

Isaac Newton

We have to Build Bridges of Peace Instead of building Walls of Wars.

Widad Akrawi

Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.

Dominique Pire

My hope is Donald Trump will focus on building bridges instead of walls.

Julian Castro

What I do is the opposite of building walls. I build bridges. A bridge is something that connects instead of separating.

Santiago Calatrava

All walls fall. Today, tomorrow or in 100 years, they will fall. It's not a solution. The wall isn't a solution. In this moment, Europe is in difficult, it's true. We have to be intelligent, and whoever comes...that migrant flow. It's not easy to find solutions, but with dialogue between nations they should be found. Walls are never solutions. But bridges are, always, always.

Pope Francis

You can use your time to build bridges or walls.The latter is not only unChristlike, it limits impact & creates loneliness.

Rick Warren

I'm in fact a hair under six feet, but I'm very svelte. People would never see me if I turned sideways.

Mo Rocca

People have said, 'Let's build bridges,' and frankly, I want to do more than that. I would like break to the walls of ignorance between East and West.
