in the times of uncertainty ahead, and the turmoil over second class citizenry...I'm left thinking about these quotes frequently.
found this one on the subway - thanks Columiba University and Barnes and Noble for the Thoughts in Motion campaign!
On Liberty
"The only freedom deserving the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest." - John Stuart Mill
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." - J. R. R. Tolkien
"Still, the Bible is a mirror. You end up reading it not as a reflection of how it is, but of how you are. If you're a bigoted, narrow minded person, you will find bigotry in the Bible." - Daniel Tammet
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
Just food for thought!
