True, we are often too weak to stop injustices; but the least we can do is protest against them.
True, we are too poor to eliminate hunger; but in feeding one child, we protest against hunger.
True, we are too timid and powerless to take on all the guards of all the political prisons in the world; but in offering our solidarity to one prisoner, we denounce all the tormentors.
True, we are powerless against death; but as long as we help one man, one woman, one child live one hour longer in safety and dignity, we affirm a human's right to live.
