## Quotes

* That’s what my journey taught me, that I could do really meaningful things in a positive way—so that the ‘how’ it was done was maybe even more important than the ‘what’.
* At a really early age, I started to learn by watching that aptitude and access are two different things. My mom wasn’t dumb—she was smart, but she didn’t have access to things for most of her life. With a little bit of access to education, she changed her circumstances.
** Virginia Rometty said, (Mckinsey&company, March 10, 2023).
* Don’t let others define you. Define yourself.
* The most important thing for any of us to be in our jobs is curiosity
* Someone once told me growth and comfort do not coexist. And I think it’s a really good thing to remember.
* I ask everyone’s opinion when they don’t speak up. And then when they have an opinion, I’ll ask others to talk about it.
* Never love something so much that you can’t let go of it.
* Your value will be not what you know; it will be what you share.
* If you’re clear on what you believe, you have a great foundation to go make a market.
* You have to stick up for what you believe in. And that, to me, is the biggest thing you can do about driving inclusion.
* Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

## Quotes

* I am concerned about information and technical processes that affect the change in human behavior, the changing forms of interaction between people. Mankind is in a hectic state, and the concentration of people’s attention exclusively on their internal thinking processes is transformed into a permanent meditative state in which people remain even when they go out and appear in public. I’ve watched it many times. These changes will ultimately change humans, and such people as me or you, most probably, will cease to exist. There will be others, and we will most likely be the last of Homo sapiens.
* Being better doesn't always mean winning a competition or breaking a record. In the case of a speaker, it means accumulating unique knowledge and experience, reconsidering them, and passing them on to others. To do this in such a way that your information remains in the memory of everyone who listens to you.
* In the art of public speaking, the person who is very observant of other speakers and public figures develops. Many innovators and outstanding people did not go through special schools, but simply learned to observe.
* Freedom is impossible. Freedom is dead. Freedom is an absolute, a divine measure, just like goodness, evil, and happiness. It is impossible to achieve it, but striving for it is the only way to come closer to peace. The task of a human is to defend the maximum possible level of freedom in the enslavement of nature.
* When we use proven facts to argue our position, speak less, remain silent more, think more, and doubt more, it will contribute to our development.

# Frank T. Johns

Frank T. Johns (February 23, 1889—May 20, 1928) was an American socialist politician and activist. A carpenter by trade, he is best remembered for having been twice nominated for President of the United States by the Socialist Labor Party of America.

## Quotes

* I am a real representative of the working class because I earn my living by my actual manual labor.
** From a 1924 interview, as quoted in Comrade Johns: Oregon's Socialist Presidential Candidate, Pedersen, Nate, and Jeffrey Johnson, Oregon Historical Quarterly 116, no. 4 (2015): 476-499. https://dx.doi.org/10.1353/ohq.2015.0019
* I believe in the use of the ballot, but, if the will of the people who are workers cannot prevail, then let us apply force. By force I do not mean physical force, such as shooting or mob attacks, but rather the use of industrial pressure by means of one big union.

## Quotes about

* For weeks afterward, memorials flooded into the offices of The Weekly People from around the country. "Now Johns has left us — left under circumstances so heroic, so humane, and so dramatic that, however much we may futilely rebel at the combination of events that conspired to snatch him away, we still dare not regret the event itself," wrote a contributor to one such memorial. "To wish that Frank had in that moment done otherwise than he did would be to wish he had been another than he was. Being the Johns we knew, fearless, noble, unselfish, and self-sacrificing for humanity’s sake to the very depth of his being, he could not have done otherwise."

* In a thoughtful request, Johns’s fellow Comrade Stromquist asked that the funeral service be held at the public library. He said of the unusual appeal "the library is a temple of knowledge; it was to this place that Comrade Johns often came not only in his capacity of a teacher of science in the lecture rooms, but to seek knowledge. I can think of no place so appropriate to bury him from."

## Quotes

* When I speak as the bishop of these people I have to put everything in the light of the Gospel. When I speak to society at large, and I know there are people who embrace this position and others who don't, I have a duty to pass on the Church's message.
** Lead us not into temptation (27 June 2010)
# Protest

A protest is a gesture of disapproval or dissent.

## Quotes

* Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope. But the corporate media ignores and ridicules grassroots activists who speak out. Concerned citizens are thus left wondering: Where are the millions marching in the streets to defend human rights, civil liberties, and racial justice? Where is the mass revulsion against the killing and torture being carried out in our name? Where are the environmentalists? Where is the peace movement?

* Agitate, agitate, agitate.
** William Lamb. In Torrens, Life of Lord Melbourne, Volume I, p. 320, and in Walpole's History of England from Conclusion of the Great War, Volume III, p. 143.
* The exclusive pretension made by a part of the truth to be the whole, must and ought to be protested against.
** John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1895), Chapter 2, p. 93
* In such an ugly time the true protest is beauty.
** Phil Ochs, Pleasures of the Harbor (1967)
* I quietly hung up the phone. There was no point in me protesting.
** Sanu Sharma, Uhrin
* Elie Wiesel warned us that there may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
** Maria Ressa, How to Stand Up to a Dictator (2022)
* Every intellectual revolution which has ever stirred humanity into greatness has been a passionate protest against inert ideas. Then, alas, with pathetic ignorance of human psychology, it has proceeded by some educational scheme to bind humanity afresh with inert ideas of its own fashioning.
** Alfred North Whitehead, “The Aims of Education,” Presidential address to the Mathematical Association of England, 1916

## Quotes

* In the United States, the Church has flourished under the republican form of government. In Spanish America, the new conditions have affected the Church more markedly, and not always beneficially, The lack of stability in political conditions of South American States has so often influenced the deportment of their governments towards the Church that sometimes persecution has resulted.
