“One who is by nature daring and is suffering from poverty will not long be law-abiding. Indeed, any men, save those that are truly good, if their sufferings are very great, will be likely to rebel.”
“A man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice.”
“Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that.”
More on Choice
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
“It just depends on what you decide to have in your heart. That's what I've learned. That's where I am at this stage in my life is if we can fill ourselves with love and appreciation for, and be in a state of gratitude... Every event of your life you have an opportunity to be in a state of gratitude for it.”
“For my own part, I would rather excel in knowledge of the highest secrets of philosophy than in arms.”
