“How can I be expected to believe that this same racial discrimination which has been the cause of so much injustice and suffering right through the years, should now operate here to give me a fair and open trial?....consider myself neither morally nor legally obliged to obey laws made by a Parliament in which I am not represented. That the will of the people is the basis of the authority of government, is a principle universally acknowledged as sacred throughout the civilized world.” PeopleWorldGivingShouldYearsBelieveHas BeensMadeGovernmentLawSufferingCausesPrinciplesAuthorityFairsBasesGive MeSacredInjusticeExpectedTrialsDiscriminationCivilizedParliamentObligedThrough The YearsRacial Discrimination Author:Nelson Mandela

“To large numbers of American citizens life in certain parts of the country becomes intolerably hazardous. They may be seized on any pretext, however flimsy, and put to death with horrible tortures. No government pretending to be civilized can go on condoning such atrocities. Either it must make every possible effort to put them down or it must suffer the scorn and contempt of Christendom.” MayCountryGovernmentCertainSufferingNumbersEffortGoes OnCitizensHorribleTortureCivilizedPretendingContemptScornLarge NumbersAtrocitiesAmerican CitizensPretextChristendomLynching Author:H.

“We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.” ThinkingNeedsShouldIdeasEnoughHelpingSeemsGovernmentPastCoursesToo MuchCivilizationAgreeDebateCivilizedDisagreeStatesmenGood FaithPettinessAgree To Disagree Author:Daphne Guinness
