Where there is no vision, the people perish.

The Book of Proverbs

Other Biblical Quotes   

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are?

We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.

You may become a Shakespeare, a Michaelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel?

You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.

Pablo Casals

Spanish Cellist

Quotes  Books 

I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, quality, and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, other-centered men can build up.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Quotes  Books 

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway... And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!

Anne Frank

Author of Diary Of A Young Girl

No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Quotes  Books 

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Elie Wiesel

  Books 

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.

(Carl) Frederick Buechner

Quotes  Books by Mr. Buechner 

I have a deep-seated bias against hate and intolerance.
I have a bias against racial and religious bigotry.
I have a bias against war, a bias for peace.
I have a bias which leads me to believe that no problem of human relations is ever insoluble.

Dr. Ralph Bunche, Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Robert F. Kennedy

There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones.

Anwar Sadat

Former Egyptian President
