I’m very lucky. The public happens to like me. Maybe they like me because I use every opportunity to talk about injustice.

It’s going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I’ll risk saying that we’ll be lucky if something really serious doesn’t happen.

Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.

I wish I could shut up, but I can’t, and I won’t.

There are thousands of ways to take action. For example, plant trees, pick up litter, join an organisation or movement that makes a difference and especially try to influence adults and put pressure on people in power.

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

The majority of my interactions with police were not good. There were a few good ones who were actually protecting the community. But then you have ones from the Valley. They never met me in their life, but since I’m a kid in basketball shorts and a white T-shirt, they wanna slam me on the hood of the car. Sixteen years old.

How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before.

Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he’s around.

These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.

I was a proponent of the ERA.

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.

With all the… success that I’ve been lucky enough to get? That doesn’t happen unless the home life is solid.

A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked, not to be endured with patient resignation.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.

How can we help President Obama?

I’ve had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I’ve often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.

There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.

Since the time of the witch burnings, the grandmothers and the healers and the midwives have been systematically targeted. And burned at the stake for hundreds of years, decimating whole communities.

The way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate.

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

Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

I think what’s going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn’t say it’s the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.

I hope that people around the world will be as inspired as I am to step up and to speak out on behalf of girls around the world who struggle to go to school.

To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.

There’ll always be serendipity involved in discovery.

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

With the casino and the beds, our passengers will have at least two ways to get lucky on one of our flights.

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

We need every person on Earth to acknowledge that climate change is real and encourage each other and our leaders to address the challenge.

I want to make a policy statement. I am unabashedly in favor of women.

The harder I work, the luckier I become.

With the development of industrial capitalism, a new and unanticipated system of injustice, it is libertarian socialism that has preserved and extended the radical humanist message of the Enlightenment and the classical liberal ideals that were perverted into an ideology to sustain the emerging social order.

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.

It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‚I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.‘ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

Richard Burton came from the same town as me, so I thought I’d follow my nose, and follow my luck. I think I’ve been very lucky.

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put – without delay, and with tenderness – back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.

Justice is sweet and musical; but injustice is harsh and discordant.

All History is current; all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world.

I’m a warrior for the middle class.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

Slavery is a weed that grows on every soil.

I just genuinely feel that that’s what you do when you’re an artist: You stick up for the people around you.

I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they’re good or there because they’re lucky.

Luck marches with those who give their very best.

The protestor I think will speak up for the world’s poorest.

The idea that there is one kind of African is, of course, ridiculous. Sometimes African entrepreneurs want to kill you because you are saying public health is the priority, not roads. Of course they are right to press for that issue, but so are we right, I believe, to argue, for example, that millions of children could and should be vaccinated.

Our generation in the west was lucky: we had readymade gateways. We had books, paper, teachers, schools and libraries. But many in the world lack these luxuries. How do you practice without such tryout venues?

I think that’s something that all mothers have to deal with, especially single mothers. We work, and we have to leave the kids behind. And I think that’s one of the reasons that we, not only as women but as families, we have to advocate for early childhood education for all of our children.

Even after Independence, we have had to face the poison of casteism and communalism. How long these evils will continue? Whom does it benefit?

In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.

I’ve been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that’s kind of a religious belief. I mean, it’s at least a moral belief.

I have always fought for concrete facts, for justice.

Children say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.
