"The universal brotherhood of man is our..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“It is not in the least likely that any life has ever been lived which was not a failure in the secret judgment of the person who lived it.”

“There are two things nobody should ever have to watch being made, sausage and laws.”

“If we had less statemanship we could get along with fewer battleships.”

“I think we're all brothers - that's the truth. But the press gave us the name black Muslims to cut us off from the others.”

“When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow people, regardless of race, color, or creed, shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brother- and sisterhood, until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.”

“What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers.”

“We meet on the common ground of an uncommon age and share out our gifts of dark and light, good and bad, simple joy and not so simple sorrow.”

“...perhaps that is what ultimately unites us as a world: the fact that, no matter how prosperous a nation, how developed, all share the plight and embarrassment of having so many suffering children. We are united by our neglect, our abuse, our absence of love. Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?”

“The war is won, but the peace is not.”
