Translations:Sanctity of life/23/en

People who are born into abject poverty and the worst of circumstances often rise to become great leaders and shapers of the destinies of nations. Look at Abraham Lincoln—born to uneducated parents and raised in a log cabin in the backwoods of Kentucky. Frederick Douglas, the famous abolitionist leader, was born and raised as an African-American slave. The American inventor and technological genius Thomas Edison attended school for only three months of his life and was expelled by his schoolmaster as retarded.
