Thursday Thought #ElieWiesel

LC March 17, 2022 Thursday Thought

We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must--at that moment--become the center of the universe. ~Elie Wiesel

Thursday Thought #Walter Cronkite

It's amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace. ~Walter Cronkite
