It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.

The importance of a high moral code, which is at the foundation of the Scout movement, cannot be stressed too highly.

If our expectations, if our fondest prayers and dreams, are not realized then we should all bear in mind that the greatest glory of living lies not in never falling but in rising every time you fall.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere.

Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS.

When I closed THE GRAPES OF WRATH, I was a different man. It enriched my powers of thinking and discipline, and my relationships. I left prison more informed than when I went in. And the more informed you are, the less arrogant and aggressive you are.

There is no such thing as part freedom.
