[Dialogue] help with two questions

[Colleen Smith]

Thank you one and all for the help.  Marshal, thanks for the "I am not free until all men are free"  quote.  I remember using it in the '60's but had forgotten about it.

One possible source I found Googling for your quote is the Russian anarchist Miklail Bakunin: "I am not free until all men are free."
The other is Sartre (same text).
Niebuhr was a possible avenue to the Niemoller quote, assuming he indeed used it in his writings.
Had you Googled the other quote, Matthew 25 would have been at the top of the list. Not too hard to find by yourself.
 
Googling away,
Marshall

Thanks for the help.
 
 Tracy's help is greatly appreciated.  She pointed me to Matthew 25 which is a lot easier to deal with than all the possibilities on google or the New Testament.  Now Reinhold Niebuhr is a different question, at my age in life, I don't really have the time to read all the possibilities on the Internet nor all of Niebuhr's writings.  So I'm still looking looking for some help.  The reference has to do with "if any are oppressed, I am oppressed." 
 
For me, the purpose of the exercise is to locate "some of the sign posts along my journey" as a reflective exercise, as a reminder of what shapes the central core of my being.
