Be a sincere effort never so misguided, to laugh at it is a breach of faith with decency.

Where justice and authority let victims down, solidarity, activism, and a massive effort to create awareness will have to fill the breach.
Sarah Seltzer
Misguided people sometimes create misguided ideas. Some of my ancestors were Oromo. How can I colonize myself?
Haile I Selassie
charity begins in your own family. “Charitable spirits” mustn’t forget to keep their own slates clean, to address problems and inequities within their own four walls with decency and fairness before trying to make the world a better place. People who aren’t willing to do that are not sincere in their claim to benevolence.
Begum Inaara Aga Khan
To talk of prayer after admitting he professed no faith was, in my opinion, a breach of common courtesy. In this sense, he did make a social blunder, for which I think he well deserved some minor castigation.
Kenzaburo Oe
All writing, all art, is an act of faith. If one tries to contribute to human understanding, how can that be called decadent? It's like saying a declaration of love is an act of decadence. Any work of art, provide it springs from a sincere motivation to further understanding between people, is an act of faith and therefore is an act of love.
Truman Capote
