Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.

Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.

I dream of things that are not and ask why not.

Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.

All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.

I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world.
