One need never be dull as long as one has friends to help, gardens to enjoy and books in the long winter evenings.

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.

A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.

I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.

American consumers have no problem with carcinogens, but they will not purchase any product, including floor wax, that has fat in it.

Look, I don't need to feel like hell for failing you, okay? For failing you like I've failed every other godforsaken thing that I care about! I don't need it!

whatever the uses of a room, they are seriously interfered with if it be not preserved as a world by itself.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of trauma, I will fear no concussion.

I lost the love of heaven above I spurned the lust of earth below I felt the sweets of fancied love And hell itself my only foe.

The things that we want we willingly believe, and the things that we think we expect everyone else to think.

If the devil walks in and starts pointing out all kinds of things about you, you yawn. And you go, 'You don’t even know the half of it.'

I don't blame the players today for the money. I blame the owners. They started it. They wanna give it to 'em? More power to 'em.
