John Amos Comenius (1592 – 1670):
 * "We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate a man because he was born in another country, because he speaks a different language, or because he takes a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly.  Desist, I implore you, for we are all equally human. … Let us have but one end in view, the welfare of humanity; and let us put aside all selfishness in considerations of language, nationality, or religion."
 * "Much can be learned in play that will afterwards be of use when the circumstances demand it."

E. J. Platt (1882 – 1964):
 * “The mark of the educated man is not in his boast that he has built his mountain of facts and stood on the top of it, but in his admission that there may be other peaks in the same range with men on the top of them, and that, though their views of the landscape may be different from his, they are nonetheless legitimate.”

"'F. Scott Fitzgerald'" (1896 – 1940):
 * “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”
