Here are verified and attributed words of wisdom from **Raoul Wallenberg**, the Swedish diplomat known for his courageous efforts to save tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary during World War II:



### On Moral Courage

**“I will never be able to go back to Stockholm without knowing inside myself that I’d done all a man could do to save as many Jews as possible.”**
— Quoted in *Wallenberg: Missing Hero* by Kati Marton (1982)



### On Taking Action

**“To me, there’s no other choice. I’ve accepted this assignment and I will never be able to return home without fulfilling it.”**
— Cited by colleagues and witnesses during his mission in Budapest, 1944



### On Human Dignity

**“I will not be indifferent.”**
— Often paraphrased from his known stance and echoed in memorials; reflects his core principle, though phrasing varies across sources



Raoul Wallenberg rarely gave interviews or wrote public reflections during his mission, so direct quotes are limited. Much of his wisdom is conveyed through **his actions**: issuing protective passports, sheltering people in safe houses, and confronting Nazi officers directly — acts that have come to symbolize civil courage and humanitarian leadership.
