Poverty is easy to bear if it is only temporary, easier still if it is an entirely voluntary burden.

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.

I understand that it is a maxim of law, that a poor plea may be a good plea to a bad declaration.

Your brain has more than 100 billion cells, each connected to at least 20,000 other cells. The possible combinations are greater than the number of molecules in the known universe.

Is it hot in the rolling mill? Are the hours long? Is $15 a day not enough? Then escape is easy. Simply throw up your job, spit on your hands, and write another "Rosenkavailer."

In order to do great things, it is necessary to live as if one was never to die.
