The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John LennonBottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve JobsWe will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.
George W. BushA man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.
Ralph Waldo EmersonPeace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.
Herbert HooverI happen to be a big fan of Western civilization; I think it beats the hell out of tyranny and starvation.
Jordan PetersonThe world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.
Florence NightingaleIf people lose faith in their government, the result is the same whether or not the loss of confidence is justified.
John KennedyYou can’t get a contemporary story about what is going on inside government, and how society sees itself, on American TV.
David HareI simply can’t build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death… I think… peace and tranquillity will return again.
Anne FrankWe may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
Mahatma GandhiOur society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.
Lyndon B. JohnsonToleration is good for all, or it is good for none.
Edmund BurkeWe can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than we are unalike.

Queen Elizabeth IIIf society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
Robert FrostToo many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.
Jimmy CarterI think that when you’re making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second.
Taylor SwiftWe become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.
Jimmy CarterI would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.
George W. BushWhatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America.
Dwight D. EisenhowerBy what principle of original right is it that one-fiftieth or one-ninetieth of a great nation, by calling themselves a State, have the right to break up and ruin that nation as a matter of original principle?
Abraham LincolnThe purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.
Colin PowellA conqueror is always a lover of peace.
Carl von ClausewitzIt is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.

Oscar WildeSolidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.
Christopher HitchensWar does not determine who is right – only who is left.
Bertrand RussellWhat we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president.
Lyndon B. JohnsonThere is no hierarchy of values any more. Real progress is due mainly to human genius, and that’s rare, and usually stems from a real elite, from a hierarchy.
Vivienne WestwoodBecause 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.
Jimmy CarterMusic, the greatest good that mortals know and all of heaven we have hear below.
Joseph AddisonAmerica is a Nation with a mission – and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace – a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.

Anne FrankThere are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.
Blaise PascalI don’t think I’ve ever felt that same kind of peace, the kind of serenity that I felt after acknowledging that maybe I was going to die of this TB.
Desmond TutuIt take many a year, mon, and maybe some bloodshed must be, but righteousness someday prevail.
Bob MarleyCowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
ConfuciusPeace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
Ronald ReaganI think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
Dolly PartonIf we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis BaconPeace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
Thomas JeffersonCapitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.
Thomas SowellIn every society some men are born to rule, and some to advise.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLife could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
Charlie ChaplinPeace is liberty in tranquillity.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI will meet my countrymen. I understand only one language: that they are my countrymen, they are my brothers. You may see with whatever colour you want; Modi will not go into that colour.
Narendra ModiJustice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens.
PlatoThe year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit.
Nikola TeslaI believe that in every country the people themselves are more peaceably and liberally inclined than their governments.
Franklin D. RooseveltDriven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinScience may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings.
Helen KellerYou can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy. You must have a democracy in order to have a revolution.
Gilbert K. ChestertonOur lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Arthur C. ClarkeSome people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
David HarePeace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.
Lyndon B. JohnsonWe just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
Dolly PartonIn football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.
Lou HoltzI have a very good family. I’m very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It’s one of the things we have in our platform, is to talk about it.
