you always know the right thing to do.

When the rights of any group, no matter how small, no matter how marginal,
are violated, your liberty, your freedom is put at risk.
Let there never be a day when we cast about in horror
and have to ask the question, "How did it ever come to this?"
- Thomas Childers
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent
about things that matter.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble
and beautiful end of a human being.
- Khalil Gibran
To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains,
but to live in a way that respects
and enhances the freedom of others.
- Nelson Mandela
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
Do your little bit of good where you are;
its those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
- Desmond Tutu
