But first they have to understand that their neighbour is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions.
Paulo CoelhoUnlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while maintaining privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists.
Noam ChomskyIf people continue to feel like Democrats are looking after poor folks and Republicans are looking after rich folks and nobody is looking after me, then we don’t get a lot of stuff done. And the trend lines evidence the fact that folks have gotten squeezed. And obviously, 2007, 2008 really ripped open for people how vulnerable they were.
Barack ObamaI don’t understand why or how we can bully each other.
AuroraMy best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Stephen CoveyWhat you guys want, I’m for.
Dan QuayleThe thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.
Maya AngelouCould a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?
Henry David ThoreauIt takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.
Erma BombeckWhy is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?! I wouldn’t say I lived in a ghetto; I’d say I lived in the ‚hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now.
EminemIf you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water’s edge.

Barack ObamaOne of the things I’ve never been accused of is not caring about people.
Joe BidenImagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation.

J. K. RowlingIt is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Dalai LamaTo bear means to support the weight of that which is held. It is a sacred trust to bear the priesthood, which is the mighty power and authority of God.
Russell M. NelsonMaleficent has suffered abuse in the past, and there’s a reason why she is now as furious as she is. And I think that children who have been outcast and abused in any way will relate to her. There’s a beautiful side to her; she’s not just a dark person. She has all these facets. And that is interesting.
Angelina JolieTo use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding; one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience; ultimately one must have one’s experiences in common.

AuroraWhen you’re around the kids, you feel like you act the most grown up just because you’re supposed to lead. I say things, like every other parent, that reminds you of your own parents. One thing I do know about being a parent, you understand why your father was in a bad mood a lot.
Adam SandlerThe best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
Audrey HepburnIt’s not just human nature to associate in tribes. It’s deeper than that.
Jordan PetersonI think every entertainer’s had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can’t remember everything all the time, and especially if you’re having hard times personally, things going on that you – you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.
Dolly PartonI see myself in all the people in the world who are suffering and who are very badly treated and who are often made to feel that they have no place on this Earth.

Martin LutherHate has no place in the house of God.
Desmond TutuMy father will anticipate everything. He will leave you and me no chance to do a great and brilliant deed.
Alexander the GreatIf anything, we should feel sorry for the people who want us to feel bad about ourselves, because they are the ones struggling for approval. In middle school, bullies tortured other kids because they thought it would make people like them more.
Ariana GrandeIn order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
Albert EinsteinIt is easy enough to be friendly to one’s friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Mahatma GandhiPeople haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.
Taylor SwiftDo not be afraid to ask for help. Nobody gets through college on their own.

Charles DickensI’m no longer just a candidate. I’m the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle, for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn’t return. I’ve shared the pain of families who’ve lost their homes, and the frustration of workers who’ve lost their jobs.
Barack ObamaStrength and compassion are not mutually exclusive.
Robert KiyosakiInstead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.

Jane GoodallI think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.
Alice WalkerCapital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
Henry FordDo everything as in the eye of another.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaAll great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Ronald ReaganFor just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheHere at home, when Americans were standing in long lines to give blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause again, and rekindle an American spirit of community.
Joe BidenLet’s be very clear: Strong men – men who are truly role models – don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.
Michelle ObamaGood entrepreneurs are community builders, actively involved with their communities and dedicated to the community’s well being. If you’re dedicated to your community, it will be dedicated to you.

Bad BunnyAlone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl’s grandmother and family right here. Friends over there. That’s my real dream.
J. ColeTechnology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.
Bill GatesYou throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.
Bob UeckerIf you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Jesus ChristI’m not happy all the time, and I wouldn’t want to be because that would make me a shallow person. But I do try to find the good in everybody.
Dolly PartonWhat is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
