Your life can be anything you want it to be.

Every time you stand up for an ideal, you send forth a tiny ripple of hope.

Now I can go back to being ruthless again.

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.

The free way of life proposes ends, but it does not prescribe means.

Prejudice exists and probably will continue to `but we have tried to make progress and we are making progress. We are not going to accept the status quo.'

It is not realistic or hard-headed to solve problems and take action unguided by ultimate moral aims and values, although we all know some who claim that it is so. In my judgement, it is thoughtless folly. For it ignores the realities of human faith and of passion and of belief; forces ultimately more powerful than all the calculations of our economists or of our generals. Of course to adhere to standards, to idealism, to vision in the face of immediate dangers takes great courage and takes self-confidence. But we also know that only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly.
