Freedom and liberty lose out by default because good people are not vigilant Picture Quote #1

Without forgiveness there can be no future for a relationship between individuals or within and between nations Picture Quote #1

The sad problem is that we see ourselves as being quite terribly small. Instead of spending my time being envious, I need to celebrate your and my different gifts, even if mine are perhaps less spectacular than yours Picture Quote #1

It may seem daunting, but I am a prisoner of hope. We are more connected than ever before, we have more knowledge, and there are solutions if we work together. Today’s technology is a great asset in encouraging global cooperation and understanding Picture Quote #1

We can be human only together. A person is a person to other persons. We so desperately long for all of us to learn that we are meant for one another. We are meant for complementarity Picture Quote #1

Arrogance really comes from insecurity, and in the end our feeling that we are bigger than others is really the flip side of our feeling that we are smaller than others Picture Quote #1

I don’t know any religion that promotes violence. It is the adherents of whatever religion Picture Quote #1

That’s the chief lesson I have learned: the texture of our universe is one where there is no question at all but that good and laughter and justice will prevail Picture Quote #1

We are each made for goodness, love and compassion. Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths Picture Quote #1

You stand out in the crowd only because you have these many, many carrying you on their shoulders Picture Quote #1

I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people Picture Quote #1

We are made for loving. If we don’t love, we will be like plants without water Picture Quote #1

When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others Picture Quote #1

A person is a person through other persons; you can’t be human in isolation; you are human only in relationships Picture Quote #1

It is through weakness and vulnerability that most of us learn empathy and compassion and discover our soul Picture Quote #1

Frequently people think compassion and love are merely sentimental. No! They are very demanding. If you are going to be compassionate, be prepared for action Picture Quote #1

If everyone who wants to see an end to poverty, hunger and suffering speaks out, then the noise will be deafening Picture Quote #1

It is by standing up for the rights of girls and women that we truly measure up as men Picture Quote #1

There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort Picture Quote #1

It means a great deal to those who are oppressed to know that they are not alone. And never let anyone tell you that what you are doing is insignificant Picture Quote #1

There will be no future without forgiveness. Any process of peace is bound to collapse if this is missing. There is no way peace and stability can come through the gun of vengeance Picture Quote #1

I think that because this is a moral universe, then right will prevail, goodness will prevail, compassion will prevail, laughter will prevail, love, caring, sharing will prevail. Because we are made for goodness. We are made for love Picture Quote #1

You know when ubuntu is there, and it is obvious when it is absent. It has to do with what it means to be truly human, to know that you are bound up with others in the bundle of life Picture Quote #1

To treat anyone as if they were less than human, less than a brother or a sister, no matter what they have done, is to contravene the very laws of our humanity Picture Quote #1

Despite all of the ghastliness in the world, human beings are made for goodness. The ones that are held in high regard are not militarily powerful, nor even economically prosperous. They have a commitment to try and make the world a better place Picture Quote #1

Ubuntu tells us that we can create a more peaceful world by striving for goodness in each moment, wherever we are Picture Quote #1

Instead of separation and division, all distinctions make for a rich diversity to be celebrated for the sake of the unity that underlies them. We are different so that we can know our need of one another Picture Quote #1

There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in Picture Quote #1
