Martin Luther King, Jr

The major link between people is that we are all human.

All people should know and learn from their history.
Mohandas Gandhi
A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.
The people are the heart and core of their nation’s history and traditions
Amin Maalouf
Traditions deserve to be respected only insofar as they are respectable – that is, exactly insofar as they themselves respect the fundamental rights of men and women.
Traditions are to be respected and acknowledged if it’s morally right. If the tradition negatively affects the rights of others it will most likely be abolished
Martin Luther  King Jr.
God is not merely interested in the freedom of brown men, yellow men, red men and black men .He is interested in the freedom of the whole human race.
God doesn’t care about skin color. God cares about freedom for everyone.
Desmond Tutu
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
By accepting that we are all human we can become a true form of human-kind

When you're finally up on the moon, looking back at the earth, all these differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend and you're going to get a concept that maybe this is really one world and why the hell can't we learn to live together like decent people
Looking at the earth from space, one wonders why we can’t get along decently.
Pablo Casals
The love of one’s country is a splendid thing, but why should it stop at the border?
Love should not be limited only in your country, it should reach others as well.
Dwight Eisenhower
The world must learn to work together, or finally it will not work at all.
If people of the world can’t get along, nothing will work.
Sheikh Zayed
Many countries go to war and then towards reconciliation. The history of mankind is full of stories of wars between people and states that have come together after fighting for long. Why can't Arabs be like them?
We must forgive and forget what has happened between who was once our enemy.
Martin Luther King, Jr
I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
People are not to be judged by their appearance but by what defines them as humans.
