I am the thread of unification that goes through humans of all religions, cultures and ideologies while reinforcing their innate sense of one humanity.

Give me your soul and I will give you a unified humanity replete with courage, conscience and compassion.

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

The dignity of the individual demands that he be not reduced to vassalage by the largesse of others.

Do good even to the wicked; it is as well to shut a dog's mouth with a crumb.

Human altruism which is not egoism, is sterile.

If all alms were given only from pity, all beggars would have starved long ago.

It is not enough to do good; one must do it in the right way.

Social work is a band-aid on the festering wounds of society.

Too many have dispensed with generosity to practice charity.

When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right doeth.

Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Do not give, as many rich men do, like a hen that lays her egg and then cackles.

He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.

That action is best which procures the greatest happiness for the greatest numbers.

Human rights are universal and indivisible. Human freedom is also indivisible: if it is denied to anyone in the world, it is therefore denied, indirectly, to all people. This is why we cannot remain silent in the face of evil or violence; silence merely encourages them.
