"A right is worth fighting for only..." - Quote by Woodrow Wilson

“Some people have a large circle of friends while others have only friends that they like.”

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

“Today, supremely, it behooves us to remember that a nation shall be saved by the power that sleeps in its own bosom; or by none; shall be renewed in hope, in confidence, in strength by waters welling up from its own sweet, perennial springs. Not from above; not by patronage of its aristocrats. The flower does not bear the root, but the root the flower.”

“Je ne suis pas d'accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je d‚fendrai jusqu'... la mort le droit que vous avez de le dire/ I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it”

“I freely chose the kind of life I led because I was convinced that a woman has as much right as a man to live the way she does if she does no actual harm to society.”

“The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.”

“Most of my ideas belonged to other people who never bothered to develop them.”

“Only what is thought, said, or done at a certain rare coincidence is good.”

“We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. We can save our planet and also boost our economy at the same time.”
