I have carefully weighed the virtues and the faults of the Filipino and I have come to the conclusion that he is worth dying for.
A vision is something worth living for, and it is something worth dying for. In fact, if it is not worth dying for, it is not worth living for. Brave, godly martyrs throughout history have proven time and again that what we as Christians live for is worth dying for.

I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults.
What is a country? A country is a piece of land surrounded on all sides by boundaries, usually unnatural.

Some people measure the worth of good actions only by their natural qualities or their difficulty, giving the preference solely to what is conspicuous or brilliant. Such men forget that Christian virtues, which are God's inspiration, should be viewed from the side of grace, not that of nature.
