Social Responsibility Quotes

“No Rest (The Sonnet) There is no rest, Till the last drop of tear is wiped out. There is no leisure, Till the voiceless can speak aloud. There is no relaxing, Till the last empty stomach is fed. There is no sleep, Till all droopy spines are made straight. There is no joy, Till the last grey life is colored. There is no comfort, Till the last anxious soul is empowered. The struggle isn't over till the fallen rise. Security later, first let us be civilized.”

“Bow O Brave (The Sonnet) Bow o brave, o lifter of hearts, Bow in service losing all pride. With your acts of care and community, Make even the dust sanctified. Selflessness and sanity, Let these flow through your veins. Offer up your nerves and bones, As the world’s unity lanes. Lose all name and lose all pleasure, Forget address to which you are born. As you live in every person, They will cross ocean to make you own. Step outside the self for the unselfish has no match. Every land will become golden by your holy touch.”

“I gave my youth to humanity, the most precious gift anybody could offer - but I am not asking you to do the same - all I am asking is step up wherever you see injustice - step up wherever you see bigotry - step up wherever you see savagery.”

“It is easier to blame the politicians and civil servants than to take responsibility for the issues of one's own society. Society is us, so its issues are our responsibility - they are the responsibility of each one of us, from the scientist to the civil servant, from the janitor to the teacher, from the preacher to the sex-worker.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 41 Don't worship your past, At the expense of your present. Don't glorify the future, At the expense of the present. Don't worship the dead, At the expense of the living. Don't admire the unborn, While overlooking the living. It's only by lifting the living that, We build a better world for all progeny. It's only by being kind to the living, That we truly honor our ancestry. Honor is earned not begged for. Honor the living, ‘n all time will be grateful.”
