No Man Is an Island

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

— John Donne

Surely this is our duty because of our love for others for his sake. We have no right to be “sleeping watchmen” or dumb watchdogs. Whenever we see evil, we must sound the alarm.

— St. Charles de Foucauld
