  • Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life, I find.




  • Everything changes but change itself.




  • Now the trumpet summons us again - not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, 'rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation', a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

  • We must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.

  • If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.




  • Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. And however undramatic the pursuit of peace, the pursuit must go on.




  • The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.




  • Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.




  • Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.




  • If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be no help.




  • It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.




  • Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.




  • If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.




  • The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
