We are confronted primarily with a moral issue... whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.

A nation can be no stronger abroad than she is at home. Only an America which practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice will be respected by those whose choice affects our future.

And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights -- the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation – the right to breathe air as nature provided it -- the right of future generations to a healthy existence?" (John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963, American University speech)

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.

You know nothing for sure...except the fact that you know nothing for sure.

Life isn't fair. In never was and never will be.

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.
