In all things social we can be as seperate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.

In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.

In all things purely social we can be as separate as the five fingers, and yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.

You and I together, fingers of the same hand, are called to build a more human world in this new century, to bring the thumb and the little finger closer together, so the hand may be strong and whole. I am certain that we can and that we will.

The pending direction of society rests more than any time in recorded history on the fulcrum of a human finger.

No human relation gives one possession in another — every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.

We are all made for mutual assistance, as the feet, the hands, and the eyelids, as the rows of the upper and under teeth, from whence it follows that clashing and opposition is perfectly unnatural.

All things are in common among friends.

A society in motion, with many overlapping groups, in their dance. And above all, a society in which peace is not lack of war, but a drive toward unity.

As if the world and they were hand and glove.

Because men are men, social institutions - property rights and the organisation of industry, and the system of public health and education – should be planned...to emphasise and strengthen, not the class differences which divide but the common humanity which unites them.

We are stronger when we act to promote complementarities, when we join hands to cooperate with one another, when we stretch out hands of fellowship. This way, we are better off as a human race and are able to advance the frontiers of life in ways that are collectively beneficial.

. . . in the gates of eternity, the black hand and the white hold each other with an equal clasp.

Friends share all things.
