Results from Cole's Quotables:

As witnesses not of our intentions but of our conduct, we can be true or false, and the hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.: Hannah Arendt (1906 - 1975), On Revolution (1963)
There is a way in which the collective knowledge of mankind expresses itself, for the finite individual, through mere daily living... a way in which life itself is sheer knowing.: Laurens Van der Post, Venture to the Interior (1951)
Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right.: Laurens Van der Post, The Lost World of the Kalahari (1958)
When we abolish the slavery of half of humanity, together with the whole system of hypocrisy it implies, then the "division" of humanity will reveal its genuine significance and the human couple will find its true form.: Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex (1950)
Everyone who gets sleepy at night should have a simple decent place to lay their heads, on terms they can afford to pay.: Millard Fuller, founder and president, Habitat for Humanity International
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.: Leonardo DaVinci, Notebooks (c. 1500)
The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.: Marin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love (1963)
People are the common denominator of progress. So... no improvement is possible with unimproved people, and advance is certain when people are liberated and educated. It would be wrong to dismiss the importance of roads, railroads, power plants, mills, and the other familiar furniture of economic development.... But we are coming to realize... that there is a certain sterility in economic monuments that stand alone in a sea of illiteracy. Conquest of illiteracy comes first.: John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006), The Affluent Society (1958)
The test of our progress is not whether we add to the abundance of those who have much. It is whether we provide enough to those who have little.: Franklin Delano Roosevelt
What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is much more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.: Simone Weil (1909 - 1943), The Need for Roots (1949)
