“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.”

We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.

With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.

If one man can destroy everything, why can’t one girl change it?

Young people are leading the charge for a more sustainable and equal world and they give me hope.     

I believe in the power of stories to bring families together, forge friendships, build movements and inspire children to dream.

I raise up my voice-not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard, we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.

Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow.” Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.

One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.

Our struggle is not easy. Those who oppose our cause are rich and powerful and they have many allies in high places. We are poor. Our allies are few. But we have something the rich do not own. We have our bodies and spirits and the justice of our cause as our weapons.

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

Because we have suffered, and we are not afraid to suffer in order to survive, we are ready to give up everything – even our lives – in our struggle for justice.

The love for justice that is in us is not only the best part of our being but it is also the most true to our nature.

If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice.

We will appoint as justices, constables, sheriffs, or other officials, only men that know the law of the realm and are minded to keep it well.

Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin.

Things do exist that are worth standing up for without compromise. To me it seems that peace and social justice are such things, as is Christ himself.
