1960·New York City, USA
Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be "damned if you do, and damned if you don't."
It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live together we have to talk.
Socrates·410 BCBe kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
Maimonides·1190It is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent one to death.
Alexis de Tocqueville·1840In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race. One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.
