It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.
George Washington
At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism, and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.
Aldous Huxley
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
Voltaire
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.

Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Adolf Hitler
If a baseball player slides into home plate and, right before the umpire rules if he is safe or out, the player says to the umpire--'Here is $1,000.' What would we call that? We would call that a bribe. If a lawyer was arguing a case before a judge and said, 'Your Honor before you decide on the guilt or innocence of my client, here is $1,000.' What would we call that? We would call that a bribe. But if an industry lobbyist walks into the office of a key legislator and hands her or him a check for a $1,000, we call that a campaign contribution. We should call it a bribe.

A slave is he who cannot speak his thoughts.
Euripides

Thomas Paine
