Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.
Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the persecuted in other countries.
The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment.
Every person has both a bad heart and a good heart. No matter how good a man seems, he has some evil. No matter how bad a man seems, there is some good about him. No man is perfect.
No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own.
Hear with your ears, that which is the sovereign good. With a clear mind look upon the two sides, between which each man must choose for himself. Watchful beforehand that the great test may be accomplished in our favour.
