From a religious standpoint?
Your religious calling was written on plates of stone
by the flaming finger of an angry God. Our religion
was established by the traditions of our ancestors,
the dreams of our elders that are given to them in the
silent hours of night by the Great Spirit.
- Chief White Cloud
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
-Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Mohandas Gandhi

Way too many, but one that should be in everyones minds on this particular forum is:
"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."

I pass through this world but once, therefore any kindness that I may show,or good that I may do, let me do it now, for I will never pass this way again.
