“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

“If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me.”

“Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind...And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry.

In fact, I am struck by the tragedy of all three great monotheistic traditions allowing false prophets to lead us in the ways of hate and violence toward our fellow human beings. For the depredations against your people, for the deaths, the injuries, the destruction, and for the lies and indifference that have led to them, I am sincerely sorry.”

“Everybody can get angry that's easy. But getting angry at the right person, with the right intensity, at the right time, for the right reason and in the right way that's hard.”
