"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those
who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein
"The global HIVAIDS epidemic is an unprecedented crisis that requires an unprecedented response. In particular it requires solidarity between the healthy and the sick, between the rich and the poor, and above all, between richer and poorer nations. We have 30 million orphans already. How many more do we have to get, to wake up?" Kofi Annan
"The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems". Mahatma Gandhi
"Poverty is the worst form of violence." Mahatma Gandhi
"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." Mother Teresa
"There is enough in the world for everyone's need; there is not enough for everyone's greed." Gandhi
"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; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." Eleanor Roosevelt
"All that is needed for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke
"But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended." Nelson Mandela
"Be the change you want to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi
"They say that we are disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war." Howard Zinn
