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.
When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises.
Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the persecuted in other countries.
Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
Human beings protect the purity of manmade temples. Similarly, looking after the sanctity of this human body, a temple created by God, should become a spiritual endeavour that is of utmost importance.
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.
Man needs to choose, not just accept his destiny.
