“[T]here are two races of men in this world, but only these two -- the "race" of the decent man and the "race" of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere; they penetrate into all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning | Wikipedia

“For self-control is common to all human beings who have made choice of it. And we admit that the same nature exists in every race, and the same virtue."
Clement of Alexandria, Volume 12. The Writings of Clement of Alexandria

The Family of Man: The Photography Exhibition that Everybody Loves to Hate
"The Family of Man...was never an avant-garde or even particularly innovative exhibition. Its general message – that all people are similar in their joys, pain, and work – was not especially thought-provoking, unexpected, or radical. Its design was attractive, but by no means ground-breaking. Scholars constantly look back at it, but they are on a mission to find new faults and shortcomings. And it seems that The Family of Man keeps providing endless reasons to hate it, despite those few historians who have attempted to analyze the show in a more benevolent light."
