If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

Only a man's character is the real criterion of worth.

The destiny of human rights is in the hands of all our citizens in all our communities.

It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual; it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world ... Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere.

Never be bored, and you will never be boring.

We all grow older and we all have to live with ourselves.
