“The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights -- that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.”

- Franklin D. Roosevelt

A lie cannot live.
- Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

- Winston Churchill 

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.

It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act.

Liberty, as well as honor, man ought to preserve at the hazard of his life, for without it life is insupportable.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
 

- Ronald Reagan 

War is the unfolding of miscalculations.

- Barbara Tuchman
