You’re innocent until proven guilty.

If we could just find out who’s in charge, we could kill him.

We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Debates, I hate.

Weakness on both sides is, as we know, the motto of all quarrels.

We’re all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made.

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.

Notifying the enemy in advance of our withdrawal dates or reassuring the enemy that we will not use certain capabilities like our ground forces should be avoided.

Nowhere is it written that there must be conflict between the United States and China.

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides. To say ‚oral method‘ to a sign teacher was like waving a red flag in the face of a bull, and to say ‚sign language‘ to an oralist aroused the deepest resentment.

Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.

I don’t believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.

More law, less justice.

Compassionate listening is to help the other side suffer less. If we realize that other people are the same people as we are, we are no longer angry at them.

Everybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime.

A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they get into office. Just the opposite, in fact. Because the minute that individual takes that oath, they are under the hottest, harshest light there is. And there is no way to hide who they really are.

I don’t have to see a murder in order to condemn murder.

Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.

After a century of trying, we declared that healthcare in America is not a privilege for a few, it is a right for everybody. After decades of talk, we finally began to wean ourselves off foreign oil. We doubled our production of clean energy. We brought more of our troops home to their families, and we delivered justice to Osama bin Laden.

Luckily for me, people don’t scream at me that much in my everyday life.

The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.

Not to help justice in her need would be an impiety.

Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this.

Because I know about the Holy Land, I’ve taught lessons about the Holy Land all my life, and – but you can’t bring peace to Israel without giving the Palestinian also peace. And Lebanon and Jordan and Syria as well.

May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.

It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.

The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely the one who dropped it.

Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.

To me, it’s OK to have differences. But we don’t have to be mad about it. You know? And I think that’s where sometimes we get so passionate that we – you know, it turns into anger.

We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence… on pain of liquidation.

Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.
