Speaker	Quote	Meaning
Dwight D. Eisenhower	A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.	It means that if society feels that they are entitled to things instead of working for them that they will lose sight that they need to work to support the system that provides them with these privileges. So without the support of the people the system will collapse therefore leaving no privileges or system (work ethic, principles, etc.).
Martin Luther King Jr.	All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.	We share a common destiny, whatever it may be. As much as some people may want to believe and live their lives as if they are completely alone and independent of other people -- or as part of one group that can remain isolated from other groups -- he is pointing out that our fates are necessarily intertwined to some extent. He seems to be using a fabric metaphor-- a network of threads becomes a single garment which represents our collective destiny as a society.
Sheik Zayed	"A nation without a past is a nation without a present or a future. Thanks to God, our nation has a flourishing civilization, deep-rooted in this land for many centuries. These roots will always flourish and bloom in the glorious present of our nation and in its anticipated future.”	Any country that doesn’t value its past, can’t appreciate its present or future. This country, thanks to God, has a rich past, does well for now and its expected future.
Amin Maalouf	Every individual is a meeting ground for many different allegiances, and sometimes these loyalties conflict with one another and confront the person who harbors them with difficult choices.	Having strong believes of an opinion, group, thought or a rule puts you sometimes in a difficult situation where you have to fight for this specific believe with those who’s against it who also have different believes
Mohandas Gandhi	A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.	The culture of a country depends on how people love and treat people in the country.
Amin Maalouf	Traditions deserve to be respected only insofar as they are respectable – that is, exactly insofar as they themselves respect the fundamental rights of men and women.	A respectful tradition comes from the people. If each gender will respect the boundaries and admit the rights of each and the other the outcome will be a respectful life.
ML King Jr.	God is not merely interested in the freedom of brown men, yellow men, red men and black men .He is interested in the freedom of the whole human race.	God doesn’t care about skin color. God cares about freedom for everyone.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu	My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.	My humanity is related in your hands, because we create humanity together.
Frank Borman	When you're finally up on the moon, looking back at the earth, all these differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend and you're going to get a concept that maybe this is really one world and why the hell can't we learn to live together like decent people?	Looking at the earth from space, one wonders why we can’t get along decently.
Pablo casals	The love of one’s country is a splendid thing, but why should it stop at the border?	Loving your country shouldn’t have any borders or limits.
DD. Eisenhower	A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.	If people of the world can’t get along, nothing will work.
Sheikh zayed	Many countries go to war and then towards reconciliation. The history of mankind is full of stories of wars between people and states that have come together after fighting for long. Why can't Arabs be like them?	Many countries prefer colonization, for most of mankind stories had been written about two countries in war which eventually came together, why can’t Arabs be like that?
ML King Jr.	I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.	He wishes that one day there will be no racism and people will judge each other for their behaviors instead of their color
Amin Maalouf	For it is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free.	It is the way we judge people that holds them with their allegiances, and it is also that we judge them that can give them independence.
