The black, the white, the brown, the red, the yellow, the hetero, the homo, the trans, the poor, the rich, the literate, the illiterate, the weak, the strong – all are my sisters and brothers. My life is their life. And till the last breath in my body, I shall be serving you all with all the power in my veins. And beyond death, my ideas shall be serving you for eternity.

There is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.

A man may have strong humanitarian and democratic principles; but if he happens to have been brought up as a bath-taking, shirt-changing lover of fresh air, he will have to overcome certain physical repugnances before he can bring himself to put those principles into practice.

I ought not to fear to survive my own people so long as there are men in the world; for there are always some whom one can love.

We seek not the worldwide victory of one nation or system but a worldwide victory of men.

I sought my soul-but my soul eluded me; I sought my God-but my God eluded me; I sought my brother-and found all three.

Our true nationality is mankind.

Every experience proves that the real problem of our existence lies in the fact that we ought to love one another, but do not.

My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.

O ye men! Harken unto my words and take ye them to heart! Know ye that every Muslim is a brother unto every other Muslim, and that ye are now one brotherhood. It is not legitimate for any one of you, therefore, to appropriate unto himself anything that belongs to his brother unless it is willingly given him by that brother.

I remember one night at Muz-dalifah ... I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land-every color and class and rank-all snored in the same language.

The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession, what there is of it.

While there is a lower class I am in it, while there is a criminal element I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

All creatures are members of the one family of God.

The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.

Wear the Kaftan which consists of plain white material. You will be dressed like everyone else. See the uniformity appear! Be a particle and join the mass; as a drop, enter the ocean.

Universal love ... means that one makes no distinction between the state of others and one's own; none between the houses of others and one's own; none between the other person and oneself.

It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
