The human race has improved everything, but the human race.

Adlai Stevenson

He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book.

Benjamin Franklin

You are a human being. You have rights inherent in that reality. You have dignity and worth that exists prior to law.

Lyn Beth Neylon

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

Elie Wiesel

If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself.

Leo Tolstoy

Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.

JeanPaul Sartre
