Albert Camus "The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding." Albert Schweitzer "The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others." Walt Disney "Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language." Rosa Parks "Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome." Helen Keller "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." |
