“All men are enemies. All animals are comrades”

“And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation.”

“I believe the twenty-first century can become the most important century of human history. I think a new reality is emerging. Whether this view is realistic or not, there is no harm in making an effort.”

“You are the only person on earth who can use your ability.”

“At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist; there can only be promise of the coming woman.”

“Children are our greatest untapped resource.”
