real, dignified, human doctrine is the greatest good of all."

One caste, one religion, one God for man; one form and
the same blood in all;
I cannot find any differences.
There is no reason for caste differences among human
beings. All those who possess humanity are human beings. Just as there are
different languages and different systems, though human beings seem to be
different, there can be no reason for caste differences. Humanity is common to
all.
Men may differ in their faiths, their languages and their
modes of dressing; but there can be no evil in inter-dining and inter-marriage,
because all belong to the same kind of creation.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and
hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you"

I have a dream that my four little children
will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of
their skin but by the content of their character.
--Martin Luther King, Jr. "I Have a Dream" speech, August 28, 1963
“For great men,
religion is a way of making friends; small people make religion a fighting
tool.”

Development issues cannot be contained within national
boundaries. It's
essential that we reach the global centers of power to fight not just
centralized planning, but privatization-based planning. -MedhaPatkar Indian Social Activist
Human existence is, in fact, a radical and profound tension between good
and evil, between dignity and indignity, between decency and indecency, between
the beauty and the ugliness of the world.
-Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom
Crime breeds crime and murder breeds murder. The Hon’ble Courts of this
country should keep in mind the best interest of the society while passing any
horrendous sentence like death penalty. The Hon’ble Court must keep in mind the
morale of the society while passing any judgement like death penalty. As
Baccaria quotes, ”All Capital Punishments are wrong in itself and unjust. There
are two ways in which death sentence could be justified. Firstly, if such a
sentence would prevent a revolution against a popularly established government.
Secondly, if the execution was the only way to deter others from committing a
crime[8].” The Court should definitely take into
account the pulse of the society while giving the sentence of death penalty. It
should take into consideration whether the judgement passed would prevent
others from committing the crimes. Death Penalty is not the answer for all the
crimes. We need a humane solution for this.
-Justice V.R.KrishnaIyer
“Human beings the world over need freedom and
security that they may be able to realize their full potential.”
-Aung San SuuKyi, from Myanmar
During my lifetime I have
dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people, I have fought against
white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished
the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together
in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live
for and to achieve. But if it needs be it is an ideal for which I am prepared
to die. -Nelson Mandela
There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen
as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a
better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic
become a better Catholic. ~ Mother Teresa ~

Swami Vivekananda, (1863-1902)
“Don't look back—forward, infinite energy,
infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can
great deeds be accomplished.”
“Understanding
human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God?
It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only
by knowing God can we understand human nature” Swami Vivekananda
