27 quotation(s) found.
 

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

We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are...Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.

R. J. Baughan

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

Better to light one small candle
than to curse the darkness.

In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Martin Niemoeller

Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
