An Eye for an Eye leaves everyone blind.
Ghandi.
Another Gandhi quote for you:
"Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw kaffir (African), whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness."
Ahmedabad, The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Vol. II, p.74, 1963
But here are my favorites:
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
-Aldous Huxley
"Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact."
-Balzac
"Fundamental Principle of Justice: Do not make equal what is unequal!"
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"Men are generally more careful of the breed of their dogs and horses than of their children."
-William Penn
"Nobody is more inferior than those who insist on being equal."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side,' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'"
-Adolf Hitler
"We can have peace and security only as long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood."
-Charles Lindbergh
"Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom"
-Alexis de Tocqueville
"And God proclaims as a first principle to the rulers, and above all else, that there is nothing which they should so anxiously guard, or of which they are to be such good guardians, as of the purity of the race."
-Plato
"The great treasure our people possessed has always been in our genes rather than our gold and our gadgets."
-David Duke
"If you worship your enemy, you are defeated.
If you adopt your enemy's religion you are enslaved.
If you breed with your enemy you are destroyed."
-Polydoros
"Democracy: Where the votes of two imbeciles are worth more than that of one wise man."
-Adolf Hitler
"I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But we declared war on Germany, intent on destroying it, in accordance with our principle of balance of power, and we were encouraged by the 'Americans' around Roosevelt. We ignore Hitler's pleadings not to enter into war. Now we are forced to realise that Hitler was right."
-British Attorney General, Sir Hartley Shawcross, Stourbridge, March 16th, 1984
"Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived... he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made."
-John F Kennedy
"The varieties of mankind are so distinct that similar differences found in any other animal would warrant their classification in different species, if not in different genera"

A wheat plant in a field of roses is a weed."

-Andrew Johnson
"Spaniards can be impressed by the courtesy of the conqueror, French by his riches, Greeks by his respect for the arts, Jews by his moral integrity, Africans by his calm and authoritative bearing, but Germans are impressed by none of these things. They must be struck into the dust, struck down again as they rise. Struck again while they lie groaning, while their wounds still pain them; they will respect the hand that dealt them."
-Germanicus Caesar, Roman general, 15BC-19AD
"Where I come from, diversity just means you have to lock your bicycle up."
-Fred Reed
