In any country, regardless of what its laws say, wherever people act upon the idea that the disadvantage of one man is the good of another, there slavery exists. Wherever, in any country the whole people feel that the happiness of all is dependent upon the happiness of the weakest, there freedom exists
Quote by -Booker T Washington
Of all forms of slavery there is none that is so harmful and degrading as that form of slavery which tempts one human being to hate another by reason of his race or color
Quote by -Booker T Washington
You have forgotten the One who doesn’t care about ownership, who doesn’t try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
Quote by -Rumi
The illuminated life can happen now, in the moments left. Die to your ego, and become a true human being.
Quote by -Rumi
One is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.
Quote by -Buddha
“We lose our bearings entirely by speaking of the ‘lower classes’ when we mean humanity minus ourselves.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“I might inform those humanitarians who have a nightmare of new and needless babies (for some humanitarians have that sort of horror of humanity) that if the recent decline in the birth-rate were continued for a certain time, it might end in there being no babies at all; which would console them very much.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Liberty is the very last idea that seems to occur to anybody, in considering any political or social proposal. It is only necessary for anybody for any reason to allege any evidence of any evil in any human practice, for people instantly to suggest that the practice should be suppressed by the police.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“It is the main earthly business of a human being to make his home, and the immediate surroundings of his home, as symbolic and significant to his own imagination as he can.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labor on which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
I can stand in a crystal stream without another human around me and cast all day long, and if I never catch a single fish, I can come home and still feel like I had a wonderful time. It's the being there that's important.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
When I fish, I stop thinking about anything else. But truth be told, if you want to declare victories, I can tell you the fish have won a lot more than I have. It's interesting that something with a brain the size of a fish's can outsmart us humans, who think we are el supremo.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
I may have made my reputation as a general in the Army, and I'm very proud of that. But I've always felt that I was more than one-dimensional. I'd like to think I'm a caring human being.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
Good generalship is a realization that... you've got to try and figure out how to accomplish your mission with a minimum loss of human life.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
“I myself cried when I got angry, then became unable to explain why I was angry in the first place. Later I would discover this was endemic among female human beings. Anger is supposed to be "unfeminine", so we suppress it-until it overflows.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke . . . She will need her sisterhood.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“I myself cried when I got angry, then became unable to explain why I was angry in the first place. Later I would discover this was endemic among female human beings. Anger is supposed to be "unfeminine" so we suppress it -until it overflows. I could see that not speaking up made my mother feel worse. This was my first hint of the truism that depression is anger turned inward; thus women are twice as likely to be depressed. My mother paid a high price for caring so much, yet being able to do so little about it. In this way, she led me toward am activist place where she herself could never go.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“The irony here is that thanks to molecular archaeology—which includes the study of ancient DNA to trace human movement over time—we now know that men have been the stay-at-homes, and women have been the travelers. The rate of intercontinental migration for women is about eight times that for men.” “I myself cried when I got angry, then became unable to explain why I was angry in the first place.

“IF EVERYONE HAS A full circle of human qualities to complete, then progress lies in the direction we haven’t been.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“White people should have sued for being culturally deprived in a white ghetto. When humans are ranked instead of linked, everyone loses.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
I am going to get rid of these elements one by one until the last person, apart from the decision from the Almighty Allah, no human soul, animal, fish or insect, black or white, can remove me from power.
Quote by -Yahya Jammeh
“In many languages, even the word for human being is “one who goes on migrations.” Progress itself is a word rooted in a seasonal journey. Perhaps our need to escape into media is a misplaced desire for the journey.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests.

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“The simple right to reproductive freedom - to sexuality as an expression that is separable from reproduction - is basic to restoring women's power, the balance between women and men, and a balance between humans and nature.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“White people should have sued for being culturally deprived in a white ghetto. When humans are ranked instead of linked, everyone loses.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“I was angry about the human talent that was lost just because it was born into a female body, and the mediocrity that was rewarded because it was born into a male one. And”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.”
Quote by -George Santayana

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Our current plight is not made inevitable by human nature. What once was could be again—in a new way.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
The persecution of any minority is inhuman and unnatural. That belief is timeless and beyond change.
