“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”
– Desmond Tutu
“God is not a Christian, God is not a Jew, or a Muslim, or a Hindu, or a Buddhist. All of those are systems which human beings have created to help us walk into the mystery of God. I honor my tradition, I walk through my tradition, but I don’t think my tradition defines God; I think it only points me to God.” – John Shelby Spong
“American conservatism is still, after all these years, largely driven by claims that liberals are taking away your hard-earned money and giving it to Those People.”
– Paul Krugman
“The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes.”
– Martin Luther
“When you cut the facilities, slash jobs, abuse power, discriminate, drive people into deeper poverty, and shoot people dead whilst refusing to provide answers or justice, the people will rise up and express their anger and frustration if you refuse to hear their cries. A riot is the language of the unheard.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Think of the egotism of a man who believes that an infinite being wants his praise.”
– Robert G. Ingersoll
“You have confused a war on your religion, with not always getting what you want.”
– Jon Stewart
“Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.”
– Rumi
“My point, once again, is not that those ancient people told literal stories and we are now smart enough to take them symbolically, but that they told them symbolically and we are now dumb enough to take them literally.”
– John Dominic Crossan, The Power of Parable
“We do not need to proselytize either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.”
– Mohandas Gandhi
“We life in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”
– Fred Rogers
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.”
– Bertrand Russell
“If we really saw war, what war does to young minds and bodies, it would be impossible to embrace the myth of war. If we had to stand over the mangled corpses of schoolchildren killed in Afghanistan and listen to the wails of their parents, we would not be able to repeat clichés we use to justify war. This is why war is carefully sanitized. This is why we are given war’s perverse and dark thrill but are spared from seeing war’s consequences. The mythic visions of war keep it heroic and entertaining.”
– Chris Hedges, “The Pictures of War You Aren’t Supposed to See”
“I’ve told the kids in the ghettos that violence won’t solve their problems, but then they ask me, and rightfully so; “Why does the government use massive doses of violence to bring about the change it wants in the world?” After this I knew that I could no longer speak against the violence in the ghettos without also speaking against the violence of my government.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
“To take a life when a life has been lost is revenge, not justice.”
– Archbishop Desmond Tutu
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”
– Maya Angelou
“It doesn’t matter how strong your opinions are. If you don’t use your power for positive change, you are, indeed, part of the problem.”
– Coretta Scott King
