“The imploring appeal must therefore be made to men of all countries
and of all classes, to the mighty ones of this world,
and to the poorest workman: for all can, in one way or another, each in his own
sphere and within his own limitations,
do something to help the good work forward.”
- Henry Dunant : A Memory of Solferino
