I have long understood that climate change is not only an environmental issue - it is a humanitarian, economic, health, and justice issue as well.

There's so many issues tied to the meat industry. I mean, social, environmental, humanitarian - all of them. I know that when I'm eating that I'm not hurting the planet, I'm not hurting other people on this planet, I'm not hurting animals... and I'm not hurting nature.

I want to be a lawyer, a dancer, an actress, a mother, a wife, a children's author, a distance runner, a poet, a pianist, a pet store owner, an astronaut, an environmental and humanitarian activist, a psychiatrist, a ballet teacher, and the first woman president.

Water and sanitation has not had the same kind of champion that global health, and even education, have had.

In analyzing what made the Golden Century of 1870 to 1970 possible, it becomes clear that four physical infrastructure technologies provided the underlying foundation for growth: energy, transportation, health and sanitation, and communication.

Anita Roddick was amazing. Her presence in a room was full of light, and everything she worked to achieve still resonates now.

The scriptures present a God who delights in genocide, rape, slavery, and the execution of nonconformists, and for millennia those writings were used to rationalize the massacre of infidels, the ownership of women, the beating of children, dominion over animals, and the persecution of heretics and homosexuals. Humanitarian reforms such as the elimination of cruel punishment, the dissemination of empathy-inducing novels, and the abolition of slavery were met with fierce opposition in their time by ecclesiastical authorities and their apologists. The elevation of parochial values to the realm of the sacred is a license to dismiss other people's interests, and an imperative to reject the possibility of compromise.

To the untutored sage, the concentration of population was the prolific mother of all evils, moral no less than physical. He argued that food is good, while surfeit kills; that love is good, but lust destroys; and not less dreaded than the pestilence following upon crowded and unsanitary dwellings was the loss of spiritual power inseparable from too close contact with one's fellow-men.

Wahai, wanita-wanita yang hingga usia tiga puluh, empat puluh, atau lebih dari itu, tapi belum juga menikah (mungkin kerana kekurangan fizikal, tidak ada kesempatan, atau tidak pernah 'terpilih' di dunia yang amat keterlaluan mencintai harta dan penampilan wajah.) Yakinlah, wanita-wanita solehah yang sendiri, namun tetap mengisi hidupnya dengan indah, bersedekah dan berkongsi, berbuat baik dan bersyukur. Kelak di hari akhir sungguh akan menjadi bidadari-bidadari syurga. Dan khabar baik itu pastilah benar, bidadari syurga parasnya cantik luar biasa.

If I don't talk about my religion if I say I'm not discussing it or different humanitarian things I'm working on they're like 'He's avoiding it.' If I do talk about it it becomes 'Oh he's proselytizing.'

Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.

The most wonderful study of mankind is man. Relieving human suffering and diffusing universal knowledge is humanitarian.

The humanitarian lays stress almost solely upon breadth of knowledge and sympathy.

It is in Rousseau's writing above all that history begins to turn from upper-class honour to middle-class humanitarianism. Pity sympathy and compassion lie at the centre of his moral vision. Values associated with the feminine begin to infiltrate social existence as a whole rather than being confined to the domestic sphere.

He was a great patriot a humanitarian a loyal friend provided of course he really is dead.

I support concrete and progressive immigration reform based on three primary criteria: family reunification economic contributions and humanitarian concerns.

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump faith in its future progress and desire to serve the great cause of this progress should be called not a humanist but a humanitarian and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise diplomacy included which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public hence ultimately of failure.

There's so many issues tied to the meat industry. I mean social environmental humanitarian - all of them. I know that when I'm eating that I'm not hurting the planet I'm not hurting other people on this planet I'm not hurting animals... and I'm not hurting nature.

Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can't use for effective investments in food aid micronutrients HIV/AIDS prevention health and education infrastructure and clean water and sanitation.

Without in any way minimising the economic and psychological blow that people experience when they lose their jobs the unemployed in affluent countries still have a safety net in the form of social security payments and usually free healthcare and free education for their children. They also have sanitation and safe drinking water.

For me the Anita series is built like a mystery series which means that as much as possible each book stands alone so you have a mystery to solve from the beginning to the end of the book.
