From BillionQuotes
Olof Palme (January 30, 1927 - February 28, 1986) was a Swedish politician who was assassinated in 1986.
- Throughout history, people have lived in poverty and misery. They have been degraded by hunger and ignorance, they have tormented each other and been driven into war. Yet, not everything has remained the same: The difference is that we have acquired greater knowledge. The difference is, above all, that we are beginning to display a willingness to take responsibility for each other. Therefore, it is not without meaning when we react, take a stance and, to the best of our ability, try to influence human development.
- One should refer to things by their accurate designation. What is happening right now in Vietnam is a form of torture. That is why the bombings are an infamy. Of such there are many in modern history. They are often linked by name: Guernica, Oradour, Babij Jar, Katyn, Lidice, Sharpeville and Treblinka. Now there is another name to add to the row: Hanoi, the Christmas of 1972.
- "The rights of democracy are not reserved for a select group within society, they are the rights of all the people.”
- "Human beings will find a balanced situation when they do good things not because God says it, but because they feel like doing them."
