"What monster have we here? A great..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“Never say No when the world says Aye.”

“Purple lilies Dante blew To a larger bubble with his prophet breath.”

“And lilies are still lilies, pulled By smutty hands, though spotted from their white.”

“The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.”

“I think that we must face the fact that in reality, you cannot have economic and political equality without having some form of social equality. I think this is inevitable.”

“I have received no assurance that anything we can do will eradicate suffering. I think the best results are obtained by people who work quietly away at limited objectives, such as the abolition of the slave trade, or prison reform, or factory acts, or tuberculosis, not by those who think they can achieve universal justice, or health, or peace. I think the art of life consists in tackling each immediate evil as well as we can.”

“It is only our deeds that reveal who we are.”

“Said will be a little ahead, but done should follow at his heel.”

“I am a Muslim and . . . my religion makes me be against all forms of racism. It keeps me from judging any man by the color of his skin. It teaches me to judge him by his deeds .”
