I have always been on the side of the heretics, against those who burned them, because the heretics so often turned out to be right....Dead, but right.

To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; credible we must be truthful.

The only thing that counts is the right to know, to speak, to think - that, and the sanctity of the courts. Otherwise it's not America.

Except for those who think in terms of pious platitudes or dogma or narrow prejudice (and those thoughts we aren't interested in), people don't speak their beliefs easily, or publicly.

The politician in my country seeks votes, affection and respect, in that order...With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved.

No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.

The best speakers know enough to be scared…the only difference between the pros and the novices is that the pros have trained the butterflies to fly in formation.
