“The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession, what there is of it”
Mark Twain
“The brotherhood of man is not a mere poet's dream: it is a most depressing and humiliating reality”
Oscar Wilde
“The brotherhood of man is evoked by particular men according to their circumstances. But it seldom extends to all men. In the name of our freedom and our brotherhood we are prepared to blow up the other half of mankind and to be blown up in our turn.”
R. D. Laing
“Right knows no boundaries, and justice no frontiers; the brotherhood of man is not a domestic institution.”
Learned Hand
“The principle of the brotherhood of man is narcissistic... for the grounds for that love have always been the assumption that we ought to realize that we are the same the whole world over.”
Germaine Greer
“In all my travels the thing that has impressed me the most is the universal brotherhood of man what there is of it.”
“I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don't believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn't want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn't know how to return the treatment.”
Malcolm X
