Prakash Raj Quotes

Throughout my life I have cared as deeply about the songs of all peoples as I have about the rights of all peoples.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.

We are convinced of the fundamental unity of the human family.

Above all nations is humanity.

I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.

Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits - we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.

I believe we are all connected to other people. I am connected to people who are suffering. We all are.

Mankind is a single body and each nation is a part of that body. We must never say "What does it matter to me if some part of the world is ailing?" If there is such an illness, we must concern ourselves with it as though we were having that illness.

If you take me out of it, I find 'six degrees' to be a beautiful concept that we should try to live by. It's about compassion and responsibility for everyone on the planet.

Even though we may focus first on the rights of our own country, that does not mean that we should disregard the rights of everyone else.

We are all part of a larger collective looking to create a more beautiful and just world.

When will the world start believing that the biggest religion of all is humanity?

For me, it's to be able to see that every life matters. Every life matters - no matter where, no matter how big, no matter how small. I've been able to see that in so many of the trips that we've taken around the world. That's been something that's been so eye-opening to me. I share that concept with everyone I come in contact with, so that we can unite around people. We can unite around one nation under God here, and we can unite that everybody matters. I think in this day and age right now, it's important. People need to be able to see something bigger than themselves.

The development of a kind heart, or feeling of closeness for all human beings, does not involve any of the kind of religiosity we normally associate with it...It is for everyone, irrespective of race, religion or any political affiliation.

See others as yourself. See families as your family. See towns as your town. See countries as your country. See worlds as your world.

I wish more of us could understand that our increasing isolation, no matter how much it seems to express pride and self-affirmation, is not the answer to our problems. Rather, the answer is a revival of our ancient commitment to God, who rules over all the peoples of the world and exalts no one over any other, and to the moral and spiritual values which were once legendary in America. We must reach out our hand in friendship both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.

Consider no one a stranger. Learn to feel that everybody is akin to you.

I am a universalist, passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.

No man is so great as mankind.

My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.

We are the world.

Let us unite the world through the compassion for our children.

I have a pretty diverse audience, and that makes me happy - laughter is universal, and I don't differentiate between people at all. Why should I? People are people. There's no reason why one person can't relate to any other person on this planet in some way or another.

To realize that new world we must prefer the values of freedom and equality above all other values - above personal wealth, technical power and nationalism.

What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers.
