    ETHICS :    
 

Human beings are like parts of a body
Created from the same essence.
When one part is hurt and in pain,
The others cannot remain in peace and be quiet.
If the misery of others leaves you indifferent
And with no feelings of sorrow,
You cannot be called a human being. (Sa'di)

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? (Bible, Mark 8:36)

O humankind, We created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is one who is the most righteous of you. (Qur'an, 49:13)

Every man is guilty of all the good he didn’t do. (Voltaire)

O ye who believe! Let not others' hatred of you incite you to depart from justice. Be just: That is next to piety. (Qur’an 5:8)

He who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just. (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)

I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law. (Martin Luther King Jr.)
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, Always. (Mahatma Gandhi)

The love of the world is the root of all evils. (Prophet Muhammad)

Stop judging by mere appearances. (Bible, John 7:24)

Appearances are deceptive (Anonymous)

Paradise lies at the feet of thy mother. (Prophet Muhammad)

He who wishes to enter Paradise must please his father and mother.
(Prophet Muhammad)

Wealth properly employed is a blessing; and a man may lawfully endeavor to increase it by honest means. (Prophet Muhammad)

One who acts on truth is happy in this world and beyond. (Buddha: Dhammapada 13.2)

It is unpatriotic not to tell the truth. (Theodore Roosevelt)

In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the inter-related structure of reality. (Martin Luther King. Jr.)

We make a living with what we get; We make a life with what we give. (Anonymous)

The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything. (Albert Einstein)

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. (John F. Kennedy)

The world will be saved by individuals of integrity freely joining
together. (Buckminster Fuller)

If I am not for myself, who will be for me; if I am only for myself, then what am I? If not now, then when! (Rabbi Hillel)

The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which t is done. (Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.)

First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, but by that time, no one was left to speak up. (Pastor Martin Niemoeller)

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. (Albert Einstein)

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. (Philip Dormer Stanhope/Lord Chesterfield )

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. (General Omar Bradley)
The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice. (Mahatma Gandhi)

Be the change you want to see in the world. (Mahatma Gandhi)

What passes out of one's mouth passes into a hundred ears. It is a great misfortune not to have sense enough to speak well. (Desiderius Erasmus)
