Such a world can be ours, sisters and brothers. Let us work together to achieve it.~ John J. Dunphy Restless is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress.~ Thomas A. Edison Liberty is a slow fruit.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.~ William Faulkner How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.~ R. Buckminster Fuller Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.~ Khalil Gibran Humanity's most valuable assets have been the non-conformists. Were it not for the non-conformists, he who refuses to be satisfied to go along with the continuance of things as they are, and insists upon attempting to find new ways of bettering things, the world would have known little progress, indeed.~ Josiah William Gitt He alone deserves liberty and life who daily must win them anew.~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe We will either find a way or make one.~ Hannibal Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize.~ Elizabeth Harrison In strategy the longest way round is often the shortest way there; a direct approach to the object exhausts the attacker and hardens the resistance by compression, whereas an indirect approach loosens the defender's hold by upsetting his balance.~ B. H. Liddell Hart The profoundest truth of war is that the issue of battle is usually decided in the minds of the opposing commanders, not in the bodies of their men.~ B. H. Liddell Hart The same fact that Boccaccio offers in support of religion might be adduced in behalf of a republic: "It exists in spite of its ministers." ~ Heinrich Heine You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.~ Robert A. Heinlein It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!~ Patrick Henry Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected. Change alone is unchanging. The same road goes both up and down. The beginning of a circle is also its end. Not I, but the world says it: all is one. And yet everything comes in season.~ Heraclitus It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it.~ A. A. Hodge The central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together.~ Eric Hoffer One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, ‘I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.~ Henrik Ibsen It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America.~ Molly Ivins Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
