Never question another man's motive. His wisdom, yes, but not his motives.

Why are we proud? We are proud, first of all, because from the beginning of this Nation, a man can walk upright, no matter who he is, or who she is. He can walk upright and meet his friend - or his enemy; and he does not fear that because that enemy may be in a position of great power that he can be suddenly thrown in jail to rot there without charges and with no recourse to justice. We have the habeas corpus act, and we respect it.

To be true to one's own freedom is, in essence, to honor and respect the freedom of all others.

We have the disgrace of racial discrimination, or we have prejudice against people because of their religion. We have not had the courage to uproot these things, although we know they are wrong.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.
