Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller
All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed,
second, it is violently opposed,
and third, it is accepted as self-evident.
Arthur Shopenhauer
Hell is truth seen too late.
Thomas Hobbes
One can never be too rich or too thin
or have too much foreskin.
John A. Erickson
British Journal of Urology (Letters), August 1997
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
George Orwell
The heresy of heresies is common sense.
George Orwell
At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is "not done" to say it... Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals.
George Orwell, 1945, Introduction to Animal Farm
In every controversy, most people care much less for what the truth is than for which side it's safer and more respectable to take.
Joseph Sobran
The truth doesn't need laws to protect it - only lies or scams do.
Author unknown
Truth invites examination.
Aristotle
A Slave is he who cannot speak his thoughts.
Euripides
To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.
Confucius
The result of not being involved in politics is being governed by one's inferiors.
Plato
The difference between the right word,
and the almost-right word, is the difference
between lightning, and lightning-bug.
Mark Twain
