The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment.
Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.
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.
When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises.
If there is to be a human future, we must bring ourselves into balanced relationship with one another and the Earth. This requires building economies with the heart.
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.
