Quote by Alija Izetbegovic

“The equality of men is a spiritual and not a natural, physical, or intellectual fact. It exists as a moral quality of man, as the human dignity, or as the equal value of the human personality.... If man's spiritual value is not recognized--this fact of religious character--the only real base of human equality is lost.”

There is no greater patriotism than this - there is no greater humanism than this - there is no greater religion than this - there is no higher divinity than this.”
