The prospective colonization of space responds, not to the particular problems of the American nation, or of any other nation, but to those of mankind as a whole...

Louis J. Halle

If exclusive privileges were not granted, and if the financial system would not tend to concentrate wealth, there would be few great fortunes and no quick wealth. When the means of growing rich is divided between a greater number of citizens, wealth will also be more evenly distributed; extreme poverty and extreme wealth would be also rare.

John Stuart Mill

"Laws and conditions that tend to debase human personality - a God-given force - be they brought about by the State or other individuals, must be relentlessly opposed in the spirit of defiance shown by St. Peter when he said to the rulers of his day: "Shall we obey God or man?"

Albert Lutuli

Anna Boden

The wealth of mankind is the wisdom they leave.

John Boyle O'Reilly

Preventing female infanticide is equally important in protection of women's rights.

Nita Ambani

I hate to say there are female and male ways of dealing with power, because I think each of us has a male and a female part. But based on my own experience, women will tend to be inclusive, to reach out more, to care a little more.
