"How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world. How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution...how we can always, always give something, if only kindness."
-Anne Frank

I am one, but still I am one;
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
And just because I cannot do everthing,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
-Helen Keller

“I have one life and one chance to make it count for something…I’m free to choose what that something is, and the something I’ve chosen is my faith. Now my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands—this is not optional—my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can, with whatever I have, to try to make a difference.”
-Jimmy Carter

Here in the maddening
maze of things,
When tossed by storm and flood;
To one fixed ground my
Spirit clings,
I know that God is good...
-John G. Whittier

“The most savage acts of all have often been committed
in fights against savages in the name of a ‘one and only’ truth.”
-Vaclav Havel

No good act performed in the world ever dies. Science tells us that no atom of matter can ever be destroyed, that no force once started ever ends; it merely passes through a multiplicity of ever-changing phases. Every good deed done to others is a great force that starts an unending pulsation through time and eternity. We may not know it, we may never hear a word of gratitude or recognition, but it will all come back to us as inevitably as echo answers to sound.
-William George Jordan
|
"He who saves a single life, saves the entire world."
-Talmud Yerushalmi (Sanhedrin 4:9)
|
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
-Mark Twain
|
One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a
distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive
at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
