Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.

The future of humanity is going to bifurcate in two directions: Either it's going to become multiplanetary, or it's going to remain confined to one planet and eventually there's going to be an extinction event.

I am also here today as a representative of the millions of people across the globe, the anti-apartheid movement, the governments and organisations that joined with us, not to fight against South Africa as a country or any of its peoples, but to oppose an inhuman system and sue for a speedy end to the apartheid crime against humanity.
