 Dwight D. Eisenhower
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
People with privileges must help unprivileged people in order to keep their principles with their privileges otherwise they will lose both.
 Martin Luther King
All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.

Every person is linked somehow.
Sheik Zayed
 "A nation without a past is a nation without a present or a future. Thanks to God, our nation has a flourishing civilisation, deep-rooted in this land for many centuries. These roots will always flourish and bloom in the glorious present of our nation and in its anticipated future.
Any country that doesn’t value its past, can’t appreciate its present or future. This country, thanks to God, has a rich past, does well for now and its expected future.
Every individual is a meeting ground for many different allegiances, and sometimes these loyalties conflict with one another and confront the person who harbors them with difficult choices.
 Sometimes it’s hard to choose what allegiances to follow because it may conflict with another.   
  Mohandas Gandhi
A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.
 Cultures exists in the acts of the  people
Traditions deserve to be respected only insofar as they are respectable – that is, exactly insofar as they themselves respect the fundamental rights of men and women.
 Different cultures should respect rights of both genders.
ML King Jr.
God doesn’t care about skin color. God cares about freedom for everyone.
 Desmond Tutu
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
 All humans are equal and there is no difference.
Frank Borman
 The view of the Earth from the Moon fascinated me—a small disk, 240,000 miles away. It was hard to think that that little thing held so many problems, so many frustrations. Raging nationalistic interests, famines, wars, pestilence don't show from that distance.
Looking at the earth from space, one wonders why we can’t get along decently.
 Pablo Casals
The love of one’s country is a splendid thing, but why should it stop at the border?
 A person should love not only his country but others as well.
DD. Eisenhower
 A world that begins to witness the rebirth of trust among nations can find its way to a peace that is neither partial nor punitive. With all who will work in good faith toward such a peace, we are ready, with renewed resolve, to strive to redeem the near-lost hopes of our day.
If people of the world can’t get along, nothing will work.
 Sheikh Zayed
Many countries go to war and then towards reconciliation. The history of mankind is full of stories of wars between people and states that have come together after fighting for long. Why can't Arabs be like them?
 Countries have fought and then made peace this has happened many times. Arabs should learn from this.
 Matrin Luther King
 People should be judged by their acts rather than where they come from.
For it is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free.

 
 Don’t judge other people because of their allegiances.
