I'm quite amused by the attempt to excuse not trying harder, by claiming that perfect is not possible; it may not be, but striving toward it as an ideal is! It is in the act of 'striving' that we demonstrate character, courage, and conscience.

I'm involved in so many different things, and there are so many profound reactions to what I do because I am big counter culture.

That which is horrifying to you don't do to anybody else.

Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.

You don't go by your feelings. You do what is right.

The Declaration of Independence...is not a legal prescription conferring powers upon the courts; and the Constitution's refusal to 'deny or disparage' other rights is far removed from affirming any one of them, and even farther removed from authorizing judges to identify what they might be, and to enforce the judges' list against laws duly enacted by the people.
