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

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

James G. Stavridis

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

Widad Akrawi

Instead of building walls, we should be building bridges.

Vicente Fox

I believe in building bridges, but we should only build our end of the bridge.

Richard M. Nixon

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

Julian Castro

We are a nation that does not build walls. We do not believe in building walls. And that defines who we are. We are South Africans, and we do not subscribe to the building of walls.

Cyril Ramaphosa

Instead of building castles against your enemies, build bridges for them to come to you!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

As you discover what strength you can draw from your community in this world from which it stands apart, look outward as well as inward. Build bridges instead of walls.

Sonia Sotomayor

There are two kinds of comics; there are the ones who build bridges, and then there are the people who walk across the bridges as though they built them. The bridge builders are few and far between.

Ron White

We didn't build our bridges simply to avoid walking on water. Nothing so obvious. A bridge is a meeting place. A neutral place. A casual place. Enemies will choose to meet on a bridge and end their quarrel in that void... For lovers, a bridge is a possibility, a metaphor of their chances. And for the traffic in whispered goods, where else but a bridge in the night?
