AesopBetter to starve free than be a fat slave.
Arthur AsheTrue heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost.
Russell P. AskueIf living conditions don't stop improving in this country, we're going to run out of humble beginnings for our great men.
Francis BaconIf a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Sir Francis BaconImagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Edmund BurkeAll men have equal rights, but not to equal things.
John CogleyTolerance implies a respect for another person, not because he is wrong or even because he is right, but because he is human.
ConfuciusIf I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.
EpicurusA free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.
Mahatma Mohandas K. GandhiIt is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
Mahatma Mohandas K. GandhiLive life simply so that others may simply live.
Henry GeorgeHe who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it.
Khalil GibranThe smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Suheir HammadOccupation, curfew, settlements, closed military zone, administrative detention, siege, preventive strike, terrorist infrastructure, transfer. Their WAR destroys language. Speaks genocide with the words of a quiet technician.
Occupation means that you cannot trust the OPEN SKY, or any open street near to the gates of snipers tower. It means that you cannot trust the future or have faith that the past will always be there.
Occupation means you live out your live under military rule, and the constant threat of death, a quick death from a snipers bullet or a rocket attack from an M16.
A crushing, suffocating death, a slow bleeding death in an ambulance stopped for hours at a checkpoint. A dark death, at a torture table in an Israeli prison: just a random arbitrary death.
A cold calculated death: from a curable disease. A thousand small deaths while you watch your family dying around you.
Occupation means that every day you die, and the world watches in silence. As if your death was nothing, as if you were a stone falling in the earth, water falling over water.
And if you face all of this death and indifference and keep your humanity, and your love and your dignity and YOU refuse to surrender to their terror, then you know something of the courage that is Palestine.
Judge Learned HandThe spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women...
Matthew HenryI thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.
Elbert HubbardEvery man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day;
wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.
Thomas Henry HuxleySit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing.
Thomas JeffersonQuestion with boldness even the existence of a God;
because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason,
than that of blind-folded fear...
Do not be frightened from this inquiry
from any fear of its consequences.
If it ends in the belief that there is no God,
you will find incitements to virtue
in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise...
