All of us will ultimately be judged on the effort we have contributed to building a new world order.

It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped.

Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.

Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

The sharpest criticism often goes hand in hand with the deepest idealism and love of country.

The enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and abiding practice of any western society.
