~ When brothers agree, no fortress is so strong as their common life. ~ ~ Love is the only cement that can hold this broken community together.When I am commanded to love, I am commanded to restore community, to resist injustice, and to meet the needs fo my brothers. ~ ~ But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. ~ ~ I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. ~ ~ After a girl is grown, her little brothers - now her protectors - seem like big brothers. ~ ~ Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown and undiscovered brothers. ~ ~ As long as Nazi violence was unleashed only, or mainly, against the Jews, the rest of the world looked on passively and even treaties and agreements were made with the patently criminal government of the Third Reich.... The doors of Palestine were closed to Jewish immigrants, and no country could be found that would admit those forsaken people. They were left to perish like their brothers and sisters in the occupied countries. We shall never forget the heroic efforts of the small countries, of the Scandinavian, the Dutch, the Swiss nations, and of individuals in the occupied part of Europe who did all in their power to protect Jewish lives ~ ~ Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way. ~ ~ Only in solitude do we find ourselves; and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude. ~ ~ A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities. ~ ~ Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in bonds of fraternal feeling ~ ~ War is organized murder and torture against our brothers. ~ ~ Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet. ~ ~ I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. ~ ~ Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk. ~ ~ Let us never, never forget that we are the masters of our destiny. No one in all the universes writes our script. We do that, in co-creation with our brothers. As we rewrite our script, our brother must do likewise or leave the stage of our drama. ~ ~ The only thing that makes life endurable in this world is human love, and yet, according to Christianity, that is the very thing that we are not to have in the other world. We are to be so taken up with Jesus and angels, that we shall care nothing about our brothers and sisters that have been damned. We shall be so carried away with the music of the harp that we shall not even hear the wail of father and mother. Such a religion is a disgrace to human nature. ~ ~ If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. ~ ~ Before eating, always take a little time to thank the food.
When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us.
If we wonder often, the gift of knowledge will come.
Take only what you need and leave the land as you found it.
All plants are our brothers and sisters. They talk to us and if we listen, we can hear them. ~ ~ We meet on the broad pathway of good faith and good will; no advantage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness and love. I will not call you children, -- for parents sometimes chide their children too severely; nor brothers only, -- for brothers differ. The friendship between me and you I will not compare to a chain; for that the rains might rust, or the falling tree might break. We are the same as if one man's body were to be divided into two parts, we are all one flesh and blood. ~ ~ Brothers don't necessarily have to say anything to each other-they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other. ~ ~ Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown and undiscovered brothers. ~ ~ Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast, The rapids are near, and the daylight 's past. ~ ~ I am one of the founders of Hip-Hop along with my brothers Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash. ~ ~ Each of us is a part of a great family - the human family, sons and daughters of God, and therefore brothers and sisters. We must work harder to build mutual respect, an attitude of tolerance with forbearance one for anoter regardless of the doctrines and philosophies we may espouse individually. Concerning these, you and I may disagree, but we can do so with respect and civility. ~ ~ Be patient, our beloved and brothers, victory will be with those who are patient. ~
