Eduardo Verástegui quote: “I believe that even without speaking the same language, we can create unity: we understand each other because we pray. …”

“When I meet people in different parts of the world, I am always reminded that we are all basically alike: we are all human beings. Maybe we have different clothes, our skin is of a different colour, or we speak different languages. That is on the surface. But basically, we are the same human beings. That is what binds us to each other. That is what makes it possible for us to understand each other and to develop friendship and closeness.”

Tenzin Gyatso (1935) spiritual leader of Tibet

Nobel lecture (1989)

“Ignorance of each other is what has made unity impossible in the past. Therefore we need enlightenment. We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity. Once we have more knowledge (light) about each other, we will stop condemning each other and a United front will be brought about.”

Malcolm X (1925–1965) American human rights activist

“So today, let me say: Sisters and brothers of India — my confidence in what our nations can achieve together is rooted in the values we share. For we may have our different histories and speak different languages, but when we look at each other, we see a reflection of ourselves.”

Barack Obama (1961) 44th President of the United States of America

2015, Address to the People of India (January 2015)

“There no longer seems to be the fear of retribution, we are empowering each other. We are encouraging each other to change business models, to try new ventures. We are banding together to support each other, to give each other advice, to change our existing culture. I believe that we are on the verge of creating a new antitype.”

Gwyneth Paltrow (1972) American actress, singer, and food writer

“We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.”
