If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

Kevin HartWhen I was in college I did a lot of stupid things and I don’t want to make an excuse for that. Some of the things that people accuse me of are true, some of them aren’t. There are pranks, IMs.
Mark ZuckerbergWhat I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all – the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.

Greta ThunbergAs a country, we can’t teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that’s – that’s a disgrace.
John KennedyI have often been asked what I think about at the moment of take-off. Of course, no pilot sits and feels his pulse as he flies. He has to be part of the machine. If he thinks of anything but the task in hand, then trouble is probably just around the corner.
Amelia EarhartI don’t believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

Ronald ReaganFor me, already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom, you’d would wake up times and hope that the next day you’d be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.
LeBron JamesThose who commit injustice bear the greatest burden.
Hosea BallouThe real question for me is, do people have the tools that they need in order to make those decisions well?

Benjamin FranklinI think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
