“Restorative Justice is respect. Respect for all, even those who are different from us; even those who seem to be our enemies. Respect reminds us of our interconnectedness, but also of our differences. Respect insists we balance concerns for all parties. If we pursue justice as respect, we will do justice restoratively.”  ~ Howard Zehr  

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”   ~ Harper Lee

“Forgiving is not forgetting; it’s actually remembering --remembering and not using your right to hit back. It’s a second chance for a new beginning. And the remembering part is particularly important. Especially if you don’t want to repeat what happened.”                    ~ Desmond Tutu

"No matter how big a nation is, it is no stronger than its weakest people, and as long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you might otherwise."
