I’m a lad of the ’60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war, but it was a number of years before I had the profile, the financial resources and the time to do more.

I was not an activist.

Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75.

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.

No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.

Time is more valuable than money, because time is irreplaceable.

Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and… the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.

I’m just a kid – I’ve got a lot of stuff to do yet.

There were some great clinicians in the 20th century – great men. Freud was a genius; Jung was a genius, Carl Rogers was a genius – there’s a half-dozen psychologists of the 1950s and humanists of the 1960s.

I realize I don’t do a very good job in keeping up to date, but I try to.

Good executives never put off until tomorrow what they can get someone else to do today.

Better never than late.

I’m bloody awful at multi-tasking.

I’ve always liked being busy. If I have nothing to do for a week, it just makes me mad.

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.

That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.

Civil disobedience’s main goal typically is to try to arouse and inspire others to join and do something. Well, sometimes that is a good tactic, sometimes not.

I do not love to be printed on every occasion, much less to be dunned and teased by foreigners about mathematical things or to be thought by our own people to be trifling away my time about them when I should be about the king’s business.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

When there’s so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you’ve already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?

I don’t have time to be lonely. And I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can’t even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. It’s just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.

I believe we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Vietnam.

However great may be the work for which we are responsible, we will always do well if we pause to spend time in sacred praise.

Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.

Please don’t ask me to do that which I’ve just said I’m not going to do, because you’re burning up time. The meter is running through the sand on you, and I am now filibustering.

A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.

It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.

I like Italian movies. I was frequently there in the ’60s, in Rome and the vicinity. It was a great period in life. I was very influenced by their stuff.

The Vietnam War was a great tragedy for our country. And it is now far enough away so that one can study without using the slogans to see what’s really happened.

I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn’t really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who’s spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit.

Artists have a responsibility to speak and to act when governments fail, and if we don’t do that, we really deserve the world we get.

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.

I explain the law of compensation like this: ‚Returns are minimal in spite of massive effort at the start, yet returns can be massive with minimal effort over time.

The crimes against Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and elsewhere, particularly Lebanon, are so shocking that the only emotionally valid reaction is rage and a call for extreme actions. But that does not help the victims. And, in fact, it’s likely to harm them.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time… I don’t want to just sit on my phone for hours.

The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter.

A black person grows up in this country – and in many places – knowing that racism will be as familiar as salt to the tongue. Also, it can be as dangerous as too much salt. I think that you must struggle for betterment for yourself and for everyone.

The people know their rights, and they are never slow to assert and maintain them when they are invaded.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

With audacity one can undertake anything, but not do everything.

The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn’t make it.

I’ve been fighting with Acorn, alongside Acorn, on issues you care about, my entire career.

We can no longer save the world by playing by the rules.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can’t jail the Revolution.

Fixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done.

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism.

90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Managers today have to do more with less, and get better results from limited resources, more than ever before.

Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you’ve started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can’t get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?
