I believe in active citizenship, for men and women equally, as a simple matter of right and justice. I believe we will have better government in all of our countries when men and women discuss public issues together and make their decisions on the basis of their different areas of experience and their common concern for the welfare of their families and their world.

The trouble is that not enough people have come together with the firm determination to live the things which they say they believe.

What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?

When you look fear in the face, you are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

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.

The future is literally in our hands to mold as we like. But we cannot wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is now.

Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today. As long as there must be war, I ask and I must answer was I worth dying for?
