If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as now we do by accident. Our words — our lives — our pains — nothing! The taking of our lives — lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish-peddler — all! That last moment belongs to us — that agony is our triumph.
Compassion is not sentiment but is making justice and doing works of mercy. Compassion is not a moral commandment but a flow and overflow of the fullest human and divine energies.
Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
In the little world in which children have their existence, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.

When people are friends, they have no need of justice, but when they are just, they need friendship in addition.
AristotelesDer Spruch darf mit Autorenangabe frei verwendet werden, da die urheberrechtliche Schutzfrist abgelaufen ist († 322 v. Chr) Zur Autorenbiographie
La justice sans la force est impuissante; la force sans la justice est tyrannique.
(Die Gerechtigkeit ist ohnmächtig ohne die Macht; die Macht ist tyrannisch ohne die Gerechtigkeit.)
Blaise PascalDer Spruch darf mit Autorenangabe frei verwendet werden, da die urheberrechtliche Schutzfrist abgelaufen ist († 19. August 1662) Zur Autorenbiographie
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence. If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself. If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, He learns to find love in this world.
Peace is not just the opposite of war not just the lapse of time between two wars Peace is more: There is justice among all human beings and all nations
