I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand.
Benjamin FranklinNo evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
PlatoCrime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaJustice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
Martin LutherI do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.
Albert EinsteinI detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
Nelson MandelaWhat difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma GandhiI grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like – when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn’t look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that’s terrorism, too.
Alice WalkerI’m not focused on the gay and lesbian movement.
Billy GrahamDon’t lie about anything, ever. Lying leads to Hell.
Jordan PetersonMost of the time, I’m not even working; I’m just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.
Jackie ChanIt is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.
Carl JungWhen rich people fight wars with one another, poor people are the ones to die.
Jean-Paul SartreWe tell lies, yet it is easy to show that lying is immoral.
EpictetusI think what you’re seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they’ve got to be treated like every other American. And I think that principle will win out.
Barack ObamaGenerous people can become more generous as they become richer, giving away vast fortunes to worthwhile causes as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are doing.
Robert KiyosakiWe’re all sinners. Everybody you meet all over the world is a sinner.
Billy GrahamDiscrimination has a lot of layers that make it tough for minorities to get a leg up.
Bill GatesA man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Blaise PascalYou have young men of color in many communities who are more likely to end up in jail or in the criminal justice system than they are in a good job or in college. And, you know, part of my job, that I can do, I think, without any potential conflicts, is to get at those root causes.
Barack ObamaPeace and justice are two sides of the same coin.
Dwight D. EisenhowerIf you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
Che GuevaraDon’t create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.
Jim MattisThe shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.
Abraham LincolnAn important priority for me is a business must get their own house in order. Be or become an agent of positive change in your own enterprise and adopt responsible practices to eliminate the risks that often lie at the root of inequality and poverty.
Richard BransonThe main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we’ve got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth.
Vivienne WestwoodI never had that feeling that I had to carry the weight of somebody’s ignorance around with me. And that was true for racists who wanted to use the ‚n‘ word when talking about me or about my people, or the stupidity of people who really wanted to belittle other folks because they weren’t pretty or they weren’t rich or they weren’t clever.
Maya AngelouThe desire to annoy no one, to harm no one, can equally well be the sign of a just as of an anxious disposition.
Friedrich NietzscheCharity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.
BuddhaWhereas it has long been known and declared that the poor have no right to the property of the rich, I wish it also to be known and declared that the rich have no right to the property of the poor.
John RuskinI know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin‘ hell, but as long as they ain’t free, I ain’t free.
Muhammad AliThe general idea of the rich helping the poor, I think, is important.
Bill GatesIf you want to appeal to everyone, you can’t do a world tour and expect black people to show up at every date – when you’re in Australia, when you’re in Dubai, when you’re in Indonesia.
Kevin HartThe man who could go to Africa and rob her of her children, and then sell them into interminable bondage, with no other motive than that which is furnished by dollars and cents, is so much worse than the most depraved murderer that he can never receive pardon at my hand.
Abraham LincolnLuck is believing you’re lucky.
Tennessee WilliamsYou’re morally tainted if you don’t treat both the accuser and the accused with fairness and with respect, and with due process.
John KennedyMe only have one ambition, y’know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together – black, white, Chinese, everyone – that’s all.
Bob MarleyAs capitalism falters, the rich move their money out of the country, violence increases, and politicians promising prosperity are elected.
Robert KiyosakiFor my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly.
Benjamin FranklinUse every man after his desert, and who should scape whipping?
William ShakespeareForce always attracts men of low morality.
Albert EinsteinWhen the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die.
Jean-Paul SartreMorality is the herd-instinct in the individual.
Friedrich NietzscheThe superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.
ConfuciusIt is not my nature, when I see a people borne down by the weight of their shackles – the oppression of tyranny – to make their life more bitter by heaping upon them greater burdens; but rather would I do all in my power to raise the yoke than to add anything that would tend to crush them.
Abraham LincolnThe use of the atomic bomb, with its indiscriminate killing of women and children, revolts my soul.
Herbert HooverThe greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.
Arthur C. ClarkeHumor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor, creativity follows. With luck, success comes, too.
Jimmy BuffettI hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one ‚race‘ – the human race – and that we are all members of it.
Margaret AtwoodYou know, one race will not be a survivor if the other one dies, and that’s something that we should think about.
Alice WalkerHe is dead in this world who has no belief in another.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheAt the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.
Jimmy CarterWhen you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.
Taylor SwiftWe are justified in enforcing good morals, for they belong to all mankind; but we are not justified in enforcing good manners, for good manners always mean our own manners.
Gilbert K. ChestertonIt is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment’s grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one’s life.
ChanakyaThe protestor I think will speak up for the world’s poorest.
Bill GatesYou can jail a Revolutionary, but you can’t jail the Revolution.
Huey NewtonTo go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.
PlatoA return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.
Niccolo Machiavelli
