It requires something more than personal experience to gain a philosophy or point of view from any specific event. It is the quality of our response to the event and our capacity to enter into the lives of others that help us to make their lives and experiences our own.

What I have seen meted out to others by authority and repression, economic and political, transcends anything I myself may have endured.

Idealists foolish enough to throw caution to the winds have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.

Politicians promise you heaven before election and give you hell after
