T.K. Naliaka
“Transparency is critical in public health and epidemics; laypeople become either effective force-multipliers or stubborn walls.”
T.K. Naliaka

Gavriel Savit
“They did not like each other particularly, would never have called one another friend or even have associated under different circumstances, and wherever they were, an argument seemed to lie only a few seconds' journey from them in any given direction.

But something had begun to grow between them as well--a sort of cooperative understanding--and the moments in which this was most obvious were the moments in which one of the two men would forgo his own strongly held way of being and embrace the other's, as if giving a moment of his life to his opposite in tribute.”
Gavriel Savit

Marquis de Sade
“Rather than fatigue your children's young organs with deific stupidities, replace them with excellent social principles; instead of teaching them futile prayers which, by the time they are sixteen, they will glory in having forgotten, let them be instructed in their duties toward society; train them to cherish the virtues you scarcely ever mentioned in former times and which, without your religious fables, are sufficient for their individual happiness; make them sense that this happiness consists in rendering others as fortunate as we desire to be ourselves.”
Marquis de Sade, Philosophy in the Boudoir

“The secret is to gang up on the problem, rather than each other.”
Thomas Stallkamp

“In one respect New Orleans has set an example for all the world in the fight against yellow fever. The first impression was the complete organization of the citizens and the rational and reasonable way in which the fight has been conducted by them. With a tangible enemy in view, the army of defense could begin to fight rationally and scientifically. The... spirit in which the citizens of New Orleans sallied forth to win this fight strikes one who has been witness to the profound gloom, distress, and woe that cloud every other epidemic city. Rupert Boyce, Dean of Liverpool School of Tropical Diseases, 1905

“At the end of the day, it would be wise to learn how to cooperate with others; so as not to put yourself first most of the time.”
Mwanandeke Kindembo, Treatise Upon The Misconceptions of Narcissism

Luigina Sgarro
“To grow a forest requires the right soil, favourable climatic conditions, sometimes the patient work of caretakers over many years. All it takes to make it burn is a single match thrown by a madman in an instant.
To break the silence of a crowd, a shout is enough. To dirty a square, cleaned by the patient work of many, all it takes is a single drunken madman.
To do good requires many people united, to do evil requires only one. We are in danger of overestimating the number of wicked or even just ignorant people and underestimating the number of generous people who care about the common good.
Let us not be discouraged by the folly of a few, there are many of us.
Let us stand united.”
Luigina Sgarro

Josephs Quartzy
“Ants are very small living creatures hence they tend to create very big hills, why can't we the big and mighty creatures create a universe? Ants do all that to protect their queen and make their offspring proceed but every human is either a king or queen, everyone cares none”
Josephs Quartzy, Philosophies from an Old Journal

“We can’t let these people take our country away from us.” It has been said.
“...these people"...? Let that sink in for a minute. I am one of those "these people".
The use of "these people" is exclusionary and does contribute to an "us versus them" mentality.
I think that the title we give ourselves "human race" is appropriate, however, I think that we are not judged by who finishes first, but how many can we bring with us to the finish line. This is a collective journey, not judged by individual speed or entitlements. The importance of unity, cooperation, and supporting one another is our shared task in this journey of life and the means are judged to produce the end. All things we do on this journey matter.”
Michael J. Marcel, Sr.
