Friend of mine posted some of his quotes on Facebook.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor"

"Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another."

"When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others."

"None of us comes into the world fully formed. We would not know how to think, or walk, or speak, or behave as human beings unless we learned it from other human beings. We need other human beings in order to be human. I am because other people are."

"My father always used to say, "Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument." Good sense does not always lie with the loudest shouters, nor can we say that a large, unruly crowd is always the best arbiter of what is right."

"If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies"

"Our maturity will be judged by how well we are able to agree to disagree and yet continue to love one another, to care for one another, and cherish one another and seek the greater good of the other."

"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in."

"Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world"

"I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't."
