Holiness is not a privilege of a few but a need for all.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ...
