in the universal oneness of which we are all a part,
from which we all arise,
and to which we all return.”

“The Destiny of Man is to unite,
not to divide.
If you keep on dividing
you end up as a collection of monkeys
throwing nuts at each other
out of separate trees.”

that is your country;
these are the conceptions of narrow souls –
to the liberal minded
the whole world is a family.”

the easier it is to discern a connection
even among things separated by vast distances.”

“A choir is made up of many voices,
including yours and mine.
If one by one all go silent
then all that will be left are the soloists.
Don’t let a loud few
determine the nature of the sound.
It makes for poor harmony
and diminishes the song.”

“I say to you all, once again –
– in the light of Lord Voldemort’s return,
we are only as strong as we are united,
as weak as we are divided.
Lord Voldemort’s gift for spreading
discord and enmity is very great.
We can fight it only by showing
an equally strong bond of friendship and trust.
Differences of habit and language are nothing at all
if our aims are identical
and our hearts are open.”

“Pit race against race, religion against religion,
prejudice against prejudice.
Divide and conquer!
We must not let that happen here.”

circulate in me
like my own blood.”
