That’s a powerful quote by Corazon Aquino, the former President of the Philippines and a key figure in restoring democracy to the country after the Marcos dictatorship:

"Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice."
— Corazon Aquino

This quote emphasizes that true reconciliation and peace must be grounded in justice — that peace without fairness or accountability is fragile and unsustainable. It reflects Aquino’s deep belief in moral integrity and principled leadership during a time of national healing.

Corazon Aquino

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Not having hope is not an excuse for not doing something.

Greta Thunburg

Those who have learned to walk on the threshold of the unknown worlds, by means of what are commonly termed par excellence the exact sciences, may then, with the fair white wings of imagination, hope to soar further into the unexplored amidst which we live.

Ada Lovelace

Everything we do these days - our lust for ever more comfort, pleasure, and distraction, our refusal to engage with the mandates of reality, our fidelity to cults of technology and limitless growth, our narcissistic national exceptionalism - all of this propels us toward the realm where souls abandon all hope.

James Howard Kunstler

And this we should believe: that hope and volition can bring us closer to our ultimate goal: justice for all, injustice for no-one.

Eyvind Johnson
