Martin Luther King Jr.
“If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

Hippocrates
“Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity. ”
Hippocrates

Dalai Lama XIV
“Do not try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.”
the dalai lama

Albert Camus
“I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
Albert Camus

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“In God we trust. All others [must] have data. - Bernard Fisher”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
