The time has come for an all-out war against poverty. The rich nations must use their vast resources of wealth to develop the underdeveloped, school the unschooled, and feed the unfed.

We are a compassionate nation, taking in the refugees and those, you know, fleeing, the huddled masses yearning to be free. This is something that's deeply ingrained in our hearts in the United States.

America is the most compassionate country in the entire world. We do more for folks around this world. And that's the nature of the American people.
I was born in Europe... and I've traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.
America is a giving nation and very compassionate.
Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation.
