All information belongs to everybody all the time. It should be available. It should be accessible...to everyone. It should be open.
But once you find the truth, you ought to be prepared to stand on the street corner and use all your gifts to right the wrong.
Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.
Fortunately, being an American, I don't have to whimper, I don't have to whine, I have the right to protest, and I like that.
I can become quite angry and burning in anger, but I have never been bitter. Bitterness is a corrosive, terrible acid. It just eats you and makes you sick.
I still feel you should rock the boat. And if you're not in it, you should turn it over. But not unthinkingly.
I'm an American, and most of the time proud of it. Even when I am displeased with what my country is doing, I am still an American who is displeased.
My dear, when people show you who they are, why don't you believe them?
Ofttimes [sensationalists] are the martyrs, but often they're not even right.
Protest without serious consideration is dangerous. You have to back up what you say.
Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
You may encounter many defeats, but you just must never be defeated.
