What is Fred Hollows famous saying?

· Every eye is an eye, when you're doing the surgery there that is just as important as if you were doing eye surgery on the prime minster or the king. · To my mind, having a care and concern for others is the highest of the human qualities. "I believe that the basic attribute of mankind is to look after each other" "The most expensive little bits of plastic in existence" - Fred's description of IOLs I hardly knew what a cataract was, but I was determined that in my training I would learn" - Fred Hollows "I'm a little embarrassed about the honors being heaped upon me but I'm not ashamed of it being done." Fred Hollows. "Until Aborigines share the same basic conditions of hygiene, sound diet, insect proof housing, sanitation and clean water... Aborigines in rural parts of the country will continue to be afflicted with avoidable diseases such as trachoma" - Fred Hollows 'The essence of a human being is our capacity to help others; it is what separates us from the animals. I studied medicine so I could help others - set a leg or whatever, and it's given me a great deal of satisfaction.' - Fred Hollows


Are there atheists who have established humanitarian foundations?

A:Yes, quite a few. Just two prominent examples: Doctor Fred Hollows was an Australian eye specialist who could have become a wealthy man simply by practising in his own country. Instead, he travelled around some of the poorest countries in the world, providing his services free of charge, raising awareness of sight problems in poor nations and encouraging other to follow his example. The Fred Hollows Foundation continues his work. Regarding his beliefs, Dr. Hollows said, "I am a humanist, I don't believe in any higher power than the best expressions of the human spirit, and those are to be found in personal and social relationships."One person who certainly is an atheist is Bill Gates. Unlike Dr Hollows, Bill Gates is a very rich man, but he is giving away most of his wealth to help provide cures for diseases that affect the very poor in this world. Bill Gates set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
