When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.

Were we directed from Washington when to sow, & when to reap, we should soon want bread.

Thomas Jefferson

Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.

Peter Drucker

Your boss loves your ideas ... it's you he doesn't care about.

Steven Charles

When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home.

Eric Bana

Once brave politicians and others explain the war on drugs' true cost, the American people will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home, people will urge. Treat drugs as a health problem, not as a matter for the criminal justice system.

Larry Elder

Music is more difficult - try naming a political band. The Dead Kennedys. The Dead Kennedys are political, but they are more funny than they are political.

Thom Yorke

I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.

Cat Stevens

Our ideals, like pictures, are made from lights and shadows.

Joseph Joubert

Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character.

R. C. Samsel

Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream. You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

Barbara Sher

If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.

Leo Tolstoy
