"When will mankind be convinced and agree..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Be not sick too late, nor well too soon”

“Oh the wonderful knowledge to be found in the stars. Even the smallest things are written there ... if you had but skill to read.”

“This [the U.S. Constitution] is likely to be administered for a course of years and then end in despotism... when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other.”

“Friends, Comrades and fellow South Africans. I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.”

“It seems like a lot of people seek their peace in things. And most of us are not even satisfied with the things we have... we always want more.”

“It takes two to make peace.”

“We must work to resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep in mind the interests of others. We cannot destroy our neighours! We cannot ignore their interests!”

“Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.”

“Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.”
