A great nation is any mob of people which provides at least one honest man a century. There's nothing like experience to upset a theory. If the world can be saved, it can only be by the rebellious. In a world where everyone cheats it is the honest man who has the look of the charlaton. Treat others just as you want to be treated.
Truth is stranger than fiction, fiction has to make sense.
Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Internal exile - Commitment to those who have been crippled, non functional, because of inhuman treatment. Franklin D. Rooseveldt. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence.
