These remain journalism's stock-in-trade.

The road ahead is long and difficult, but itโs filled with opportunity. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Donโt give up.

People, worldwide, hunger for the right of self-determination, for those inalienable rights that make for human dignity and progress.

Every blow we inflict against poverty will be a blow against its dark allies of oppression and war. Every victory for human freedom will be a victory for world peace.

Have the courage to use your own intelligence! is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.

Parker J. PalmerSelf-determination has to mean that the leader is your individual gut, and heart, and mind or we're talking about power, again, and its rather well-known impurities.

June JordanNo it was not the novelty, and it was not the danger and the adventure (although these had their charm). It was certainly not a passing whim (if it had been the hard work would have dispelled it in a very short time!).

Thirdly, a conviction that aviation was a profession of the future and therefore had room to welcome its new followers.
