If you will just start with the idea that this is a hard world, it will all be much simpler.

We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.

The most important office, and the one which all of us can and should fill, is that of private citizen.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.

The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

Our life mandate on earth is carrying out our purpose

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

When a man knows that the abstraction ten exists - nothing on earth can stop him from looking for the fact of eleven.

It's your obligation to speak the truth, and everyone can either take it or leave it. But truth must be in us. We live in such a poverty of truth today.

If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves, then they'd have to be responsible for their words.

"Just give your life to us and stop worrying about things," is what Obama's message is, and people don't want to do that.
