Sunshine is the greatest disinfectant

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.

The only title in our democracy superior to that of President is the title of citizen.

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.

It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.

Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.

The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people.

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

The time is my vehicle & the light is my fuel.

I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.

Don't say you miss me when it's your fault I'm gone!

The worst is still ahead of us. But no one in Washington has the spine to tell you that.

There is bias and sexism everywhere, just like there are problems of racism and homophobia stemming from the whole notion that we're arranged in a hierarchy, that we're ranked rather than linked.

Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

Without conviction that you can make change happen, you will not act, even if you see the vision. Your feelings will hold you back.

My experience is that you can't possibly win against whatever the tidal wave is that's coming at you.

Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?

Can you let me go to hell the way I want to?
