See the good in people and help them.

The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
