Ubuntu is not just a word but also a philosophy. It's from a Zulu proverb and means:

"I am a person through other people. My humanity is connected to yours."

We cannot dispair of humanity, since we are ourselves human beings.

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Those who have the privilege to know, have the duty to act.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thoughts in clear form.

The rain-weeping and the sun burning twine together to make us grow. Keep your intelligence white-hot and your grief glistening, so your life will stay fresh. Cry easily like a little child.

A total immersion in life offers the best classroom for learning to love.

I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can...And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all other men to do the same...I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love; the more they give, the more they possess of that precious nourishing love from which flowers and children have their strength and which could help all human beings if they would take it without doubting.
