Friends that you have known for a long time and love very dearly never seem to grow old.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

You ultimately judge the civility of a society not by how it treats the rich, the powerful, the protected and the highly esteemed, but by how it treats the poor, the disfavored and the disadvantaged.

We have a system of justice in [the US] that treats you much better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent. Wealth, not culpability, shapes outcomes.

You don’t change the world with the ideas in your mind, but with the conviction in your heart.

Somebody has to stand when other people are sitting. Somebody has to speak when other people are quiet.

The opposite of poverty is not wealth. I don't believe that. I actually think, in too many places, the opposite of poverty is justice.

The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.

Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done.

We live in a country that talks about being the home of the brave and the land of the free, and we have the highest incarceration rate in the world.

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.

Do you remember when we learned how to fly? We'd play make-believe, we were young and had time on our side

The groom always smiles proudly because he's convinced he's accomplished something quite wonderful. The bride smiles because she's been able to convince him of it.

Mars missions will require up to three years in reduced gravity, so we need to make sure astronauts can not only survive but thrive as they move outward to explore this new world.

I've gotten really hot since you went blind.

The uplift of a fearless heart will help us over barriers.

Men resort to talking only when they haven't the power to enforce their convictions upon others.

Hollywood was a good influence because I was madly in love with films, and the films had a direct influence on me.

You can think of a painter as a trio - the artist, his talent and his muse, the last two always on the lookout for a new brush man.

Perhaps the only limits to the human mind are those we believe in.

I mean, nobody's ever thrown a big rock at me or my friends, but we're all pretty tough guys and could probably handle it.
