—Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
