“Life is a race. You are racing against time. Your life is such that you are running a race against a diminishing life.”

“Run well and win in this race of life by converting your time into added values and products.”

“All humans have time at their disposal irrespective of economic status, race or class”

“It is potentials plus hard work that leads to greatness. It is my belief that most people irrespective of race or nationality will surprise themselves if they work hard and believe in their potentials.”

“Potentials well expressed are the breeding grounds for greatness and success irrespective of whether we are white or black.”

“I had made my mind up that since I was not going to be a Negro, I would avail myself of every possible opportunity to make a white man’s success; and that, if it can be summed up in any one word, means “money.”

“Just add a ‘g’ before race; race with grace and success will be yours!”

“In the age of social media, there is no such thing as “just an ordinary human being.” Every time you post in social media, you harness the power to speak across time, place, and race. And that makes you extraordinary.”

“As a Christian from a Muslim background, I find it fascinating that the culture of confusion speedily brands someone that criticizes Islam to be a racist. Islam is religion, not a race. People from many races and ethnicities embrace Islam. Calling someone a racist for criticizing Islam ignores Islam’s racial and ethnic diversity. And so one could more justifiably call such a confused use of the term ‘racist’ to be, well racist itself.”

“If my mother’s intention in whole or in part was to ensure that I never had to suffer any indignity or embarrassment for being a Jew, then she succeeded well enough. And in any case there were enough intermarriages and ‘conversions’ on both sides of her line to make me one of those many mischling hybrids who are to be found distributed all over the known world. And, as someone who doesn’t really believe that the human species is subdivided by ‘race,’ let alone that a nation or nationality can be defined by its religion, why should I not let the whole question slide away from me? Why—and then I’ll stop asking rhetorical questions—did I at some point resolve that, in whatever tone of voice I was asked ‘Are you a Jew?’ I would never hear myself deny it?”

“Through love, tribes have been intermixing colors to reveal a new rainbow world. And as more time passes, this racial and cultural blending will make it harder for humans to side with one race, nation or religion over another.”

“Despite it all, there were heroes who rose above their circumstances. Those who reached out to people of another race with compassion and even love.”
