I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other.
What is man? Hope turned to dust. No. What is man? Dust turned to hope.
Peace is our gift to each other.
Mankind needs peace more than ever, for our entire planet, threatened by nuclear war, is in danger of total destruction. A destruction only man can provoke, only man can prevent.
Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.
