Whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity and it has worth.

Make a career of humanity… It will enrich your spirit as nothing else possibly can. It will give you that rare sense of nobility that can only spring from love and selflessly helping your fellow man… You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.

This often misunderstood and misinterpreted concept has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of man.

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

 A dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.

A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few;

This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream – a dream yet unfulfilled.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

We must shift the arms race into a ‘peace race’.

Without justice, there can be no peace.

Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

There is no deficit in human resources; the deficit is in human will.

The basis of moral principles is to have a real concern for the well-being of others and an appreciation of the oneness of humanity. Whether science or religion is constructive or destructive depends on our motivation and whether we are guided by moral principles.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

The little ones are the only good human beings.

I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to any state or national entity whatsoever.

Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.

Compassionate people are geniuses in the art of living, more necessary to the dignity, security, and joy of humanity than the discoverers of knowledge.

Human beings may well be unable to break free of the dictatorship of greed that spreads like a miasma over the world, but no longer will we be an inarticulate and ignorant humanity, confused by our enslavement to superior cruelty and weaponry.
