Two dimensions of Human Nature  We created man in the best design (intellectually); then turned him into the lowliest of the lowly (morally). (Teen 45)  The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot. Mark Twain  The nature of man is evil; his goodness is the result of his activity. Xunsi  Anyone can be a barbarian; it requires a terrible effort to remain a civilized man. Leonard Sidney Woolf  The person that loses his conscience has nothing left worth keeping. Izaak Walton

Human Rights In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Communist. • Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Jew. • Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak up, because I was not a trade unionist. • Then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Catholic. • Then they came for me... and by that time, there was no one to speak up for anyone. -- Martin Niemoeller, Pastor
