We
are a gentle angry people
We are a land of many colors
We are gay and straight together
We are a peaceful loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives.

All
the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them
to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible, so is
freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that
can no longer be split into isolated fragments."
-- Jawaharlal
Nehru |  |

*
We
have a stake in one another ... what binds us together is greater than what drives
us apart, and ... if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and
act on it, then we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaningful
done for the people with whom we share this Earth.
-- Barack
Obama There
is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States
of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America
and asian America - there's the United States of America.
-- Barack
Obama |
We
will remember that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are
one people; we are one nation and together, we will begin the next great chapter
in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from
sea to shining sea:-- Yes. We. Can.

Obama

World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."

Share
our similarities, celebrate our differences."

The social progress,
order, security and peace of each country are necessarily connected with the social
progress, order, security and peace of all other countries.
-- Pope John
XXIII
"If you
wish to be brothers, let the arms fall from your hands. One cannot love while
holding offensive arms."
-- Pope Pius VI
| We must realize
the truth of ourselves --- we are one human family. One a part of the other. My
old work horse Teddy and the fancy registered horse visiting us had no trouble
eating out of the same dish. We must discover the same.
-- Sister Lucy Poulin

"Behold
how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity."

Technology
is driving us together. In many ways we are becoming like one family. With the
global threats resulting from science and technology, the whole of humankind now
needs protection. We have to extend our loyalty to the whole of the human race.
-- Joseph Rotblat
|
Whatever
system of governance is eventually adopted, it is important that it carries the
people with it. We need to convey the message that safeguarding our common property,
humankind, will require developing in each of us a new loyalty: a loyalty to mankind.
It calls for the nurturing of a feeling of belonging to the human race. We have
to become world citizens.
-- Joseph
Rotblat

There
can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate
ones.
-- Anwar Sadat |  |
There is only one
man in the world and his name is All Men. There is only one woman in the world
and her name is All Women. There is only one child in the world and the child’s
name is All Children.
-- Carl Sandburg

if
you can just see all the children of the world as your own, all the mothers of
the world as you are, we can make a huge difference. *
"If
you walk down the street and see someone in a box, you have a choice. That person
is either the other and you're fearful of them, or that person is an extension
of your family."
-- Susan
Sarandon |
"Live
and let live."
-- Scottish proverb
States
are more like people than they are like anything else: they exist by purpose,
reason, suffering, and joy. And peace between states is also like peace between
people. It involves the willing renunciation of purpose, in the mutual desire
not to do, but to be.
-- Roger Scruton
| *
The
best hope for peace in the world lies in the simple but far-reaching recognition
that we all have many different associations and affiliations, and we need not
see ourselves as being rigidly divided by a single categorization of hardened
groups, which confront each other.
-- Amartya
Sen |  |
Any classification
according to a singular identity polarizes people in a particular way, but if
we take note of the fact that we have many different identities - related not
just to religion but also to language, occupation and business, politics, class
and poverty, and many others - we can see that the polarization of one can be
resisted by a fuller picture. So knowledge and understanding are extremely important
to fight against singular polarization.
-- Amartya
Sen
But once
we recognize that many ideas that are taken to be quintessentially Western have
also flourished in other civilizations, we also see that these ideas are not as
culture-specific as is sometimes claimed. We need not begin with pessimism, at
least on this ground, about the prospects of reasoned humanism in the world. --
Amartya Sen

We
are members one of another; so that you cannot injure or help your neighbor without

"The primary threat to nature and people today comes
from centralising and monopolising power and control.
Not until diversity is made the logic of production
will there be a chance for sustainability, justice
and peace. Cultivating and conserving diversity is
no luxury in our times: it is a survival imperative."
~ Vandana
Shiva

Uniformity
is not nature's way; diversity is nature's way.

"I

Just
imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same. My idea of a perfect
world is one in which we really appreciated each other's differences: Short, tall;
Democrat, Republican; black, white; gay, straight--a world in which all of us
are equal, but definitely not the same.
-- Barbra
Streisand |
"The
age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come."
