Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Elie Wiesel
- There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
- Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
- We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
- When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.
- If the only prayer you say throughout your life is “Thank You,” then that will be enough.
- I pray to the God within me that He will give me the strength to ask Him the right questions.
- I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides.
- For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.
- Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.
- We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.
