When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

Every time you meet a situation you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.

Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.

The destiny of human rights is in the hands of all our citizens in all our communities.

those who attack always do so with greater fervor than those who defend.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person...Withou t concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.
