It is apparent that men can be social beings no longer than they believe each other. When speech is employed only as the vehicle of falsehood, every man must disunite himself from others, inhabit his own cave and seek prey only for himself.~ Dr. Samuel Johnson It does not require many words to speak the truth.~ Chief Joseph Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honor, and for the sake of living to lose what makes life worth having.~ Juvenal You taught me to be nice, so nice that now I am so full of niceness, I have no sense of right and wrong, no outrage, no passion.~ Garrison Keillor We have met the enemy and he is us.~ Walt Kelly Integrity is the core of our character.~ L. Lionel Kendrick Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.~ John F. Kennedy A man does what he must -- in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers -- and this is the basis of all human morality.~ John F. Kennedy The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use -- of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.~ Robert F. Kennedy Character is the accumulated confidence that individual men and women acquire from years of doing the right thing, over and over again, even when they don't feel like it. People with character understand that their lives are filled with events and choices that are significant, above all, not because of the short term success or failure of the search for money or position, but because the choices we make are actually making us into one kind of person, or another. Our life of choices is a life-long labor to make ourselves into a person who has begun to respond adequately to the awesome gift we received from God when He made us in His image.~ Alan Keyes Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; We’ll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.~ Nikita Khrushschev Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There are two freedoms--the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where a man is free to do what he ought.~ Charles Kingsley God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won't.~ Alfred Korzyybski The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed — where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.~ Judge Alex Kozinski Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
