This is from Desmond Tutu:
"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."
Lot of MLK quotes:
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
"The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict."
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
"The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people."
"We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will."
"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
Carlos Wallace (from his book 'Life Is Not Complicated-You Are: Turning Your Biggest Disappointments Into Your Greatest Blessings'):
"There's a difference between an opportunist, and someone who seizes an opportunity. One selfishly harvests the fruits of another's labor, the other strategically helps plant the seeds. The latter can be an asset, the former will always be a leech."
"Class. You either have it, or you don't. It's not determined by how you dress, your level of education or your social standing. It's conveyed in how you carry yourself and treat others. Some folks go to great lengths to "prove" they make the grade. Ultimately, people with class are outstanding without trying too hard to stand out."

“So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot...
take PLEASURE without giving PLEASURE.
Every Gesture, Caress, Touch, Glance,
and Every last bit of the body has its secret...
which brings Happiness to the person who knows how to wake it."

Forgiveness is hard to do with those around you when you can't forgive yourself. Letting go of the past is harder than being happy in the present for some.
