DiogenesClearly this is a tough economic time, and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents, we talk about small changes for kids and things that don’t cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That’s going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.

Pierre Teilhard de ChardinMy first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.
George WashingtonLet every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Albert EinsteinPolitics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
Ronald ReaganNorth Americans don’t understand… that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity.
Fidel CastroWe cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Albert EinsteinWe can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won’t be a world – at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others.

Abraham LincolnBe nice to whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.
Desmond TutuOur virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Nikola TeslaThe way people look at me these days – that’s the same way I looked at President Obama before I met him. We tend to forget that people who’ve attained a certain position are human.
Kendrick LamarAs I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
George OrwellAt some point in time, you definitely have to go drama. Not to say that you’re going drama just because everybody else does it. You do it to challenge yourself. You do it because, naturally, in the profession of acting, you want to show growth. You want to say that you take the craft seriously.
Kevin HartWhat is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.

Desmond TutuWe are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard ShawIf God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
EpicurusScience is global. Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamHuman 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.
Alice WalkerI think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.
Oscar WildeI refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Dogmas are collective conceptual prisons. And the strange thing is that people love their prison cells because they give them a sense of security and a false sense of ‚I know.‘ Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas.
Eckhart TolleThe essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
George OrwellFor goodness sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognize that we are humans, too.

Robert FrostWithout feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?
ConfuciusCulture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers.

Mahatma GandhiReal estate investing, even on a very small scale, remains a tried and true means of building an individual’s cash flow and wealth.
Robert KiyosakiWar may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.
Jimmy CarterRemember, it is not about voting for the perfect candidate – there is no such thing. Presidents are human.
Michelle ObamaLove and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

Robert KiyosakiWriters are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.
John SteinbeckI particularly admire are Mark Twain and Jerome K. Jerome who wrote in a certain tone of voice which was humane and understanding of humanity, but always ready to annotate its little foibles. I think I’d lay my cards down on that, and say that it’s that that I’m trying to do.
Terry PratchettDoctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.
