"Above
all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great
brotherhood; all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore
bound to sympathize with each other." - Albert Pike
"I
believe that if we really want human brotherhood to spread and
increase until it makes life safe and sane, we must also be certain
that there is no one true faith or path by which it may spread." - Adlai E. Stevenson
"The
hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined
nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood." -
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history." - Mahatma Gandhi
