Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Billy had a framed prayer on his office wall which expressed his method for keeping going, even though he was unenthusiastic about living. A lot of patients who saw the prayer on Billy’s wall told him that it helped them to keep going, too. It went like this: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference.” Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“Only one man ever understood me, and he didn't understand me.”
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Martin Luther King Jr.
“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
Martin Luther King Jr., A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

Voltaire
“What is tolerance? It is a necessary consequence of humanity. We are all fallible, let us then pardon each other's follies. This is the first principle of natural right.”
Voltaire, Philosophical Dictionary
