The Colonel's son admonishes them that his companion is now no longer a border thief, but a fellow soldier. Its first line is often quoted, sometimes to ascribe racism to Kipling, particularly in regard to the British Empire. Those who quote it thus often completely miss the third and fourth lines.

"Message from the East Payam-i-Mashriq (; or Message from the East; published in Persian, 1923) is a philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of the Indian subcontinent. Payam-i Mashriq is an answer to ""West-östlicher Diwan"" by Goethe, the famous German poet. Immediately after the end of World War I, Iqbal started writing the Payam and it can be presumed that he would have thought in this respect to achieve a goal of bringing the East and the West closer to each other. It is evident from some of Iqbal’s Urdu letters that he first disclosed about his"
"Go West, young man ""Go West, young man"" is a phrase, the origin of which is often credited to the American author and newspaper editor Horace Greeley concerning America's expansion westward, related to the then-popular concept of Manifest Destiny.

In 2010, Timothy Hughes of ""Rare & Early Newspapers"" (blog) examined Greeley's writings and concluded: ""Here is the Tribune of that date and I've scoured through the issue yet never found the quote. The closest I could come is in 'The Homstead Law' article, page 4 column 4, where"
"East East is one of the four cardinal directions or points of the compass. It is the opposite direction from west. The word ""east"" comes from Middle English ""est"", from Old English ""ēast"", which itself comes from the Proto-Germanic *""aus-to-"" or *""austra-"" ""east, toward the sunrise"", from Proto-Indo-European *aus- ""to shine,"" or ""dawn"". This is similar to Old High German ""*ōstar"" ""to the east"", Latin ""aurora"" ""dawn"", and Greek ""ēōs"" . ""Ēostre"", a Germanic goddess of dawn, might have been a personification of both dawn and the cardinal points. By convention, the right hand side of a map is east."

"Far West (Taixi) The Far West () is a Chinese and Japanese term that refers to Europe, or more broadly, to the entire Western world. Originally a name for parts of Inner Asia and India, the term Far West as a Chinese exonym for the West was coined by the Italian Jesuit priest Matteo Ricci.

Along with Plato, he is considered the ""Father of Western Philosophy"". Aristotle provided a complex and harmonious synthesis of the various existing philosophies prior to him, including those of Socrates and Plato, and it was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its fundamental intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in"

The word ""west"" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (""ouest"" in French, ""oest"" in Catalan, ""ovest"" in Italian, ""oeste"" in Spanish and Portuguese). It stems from the Indo-European root ""*wes"" reduced from ""*wes-pero"" 'evening, night' which is related to Old Greek ""hesperos"" and Latin ""vesper"" 'evening; west'.

"East–West dichotomy In sociology, the East–West dichotomy is the perceived difference between the Eastern and Western worlds. Cultural rather than geographical in division, the boundaries of East and West are not fixed, but vary according to the criteria adopted by individuals using the term. Historically, Asia (excluding Siberia) was regarded as the East, and Europe was regarded as the West. Today, the ""West"" usually refers to Australasia, Europe, and America. Used in discussing such studies as management, economics, international relations, and linguistics, the concept is criticized for overlooking regional hybridity. Conceptually, the boundaries are cultural, rather than geographical, as a"

The division between 'East' and 'West' is a product of European cultural history, and of the distinction between European Christendom and the cultures beyond it to the East. With the European colonization of the Americas the East/West distinction became global.

Such distinctions were articulated by Westerners in the scholarly tradition known as Orientalism and Indology.
