The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free. Ron Paul
I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But getused to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me. Muhammad Ali
What I saw wasn't a ghost. It was simply--myself. I can never forget how terrified I was that night, and whenever I remember it, this thought always springs to mind: that the most frightening thing in the world is our own self. What do you think? Haruki Murakami
Margaery, you're clever, be a dear and tell your poor old half-daft grandmother the name of that queer fish from the Summer Isles that puffs up to ten times its own size when you poke it."They call them puff fish, Grandmother."Of course they do. Summer Islanders have no imagination. George R. R. Martin
The voice fell low, sank into her breast and stretched the tight bodice over her heart as she came up close. He felt the young lips, her body sighing in relief against the arm growing stronger to hold her. There were now no more plans than if Dick had arbitrarily made some indissoluble mixture, with atoms joined and inseparable; you could throw it all out but never again could they fit back into atomic scale. As he held her and tasted her, and as she curved in further and further toward him,... F. Scott Fitzgerald
The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end. Rabindranath Tagore
Terry Tempest Williams quote: "I believe every woman should own at least one pair of red shoes."
I believe every woman should own at least one pair of red shoes. Terry Tempest Williams
I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to... Jack Kerouac
Howard Thurman quote: "Often, to be free means the ability to deal with the realities..."
Often, to be free means the ability to deal with the realities of one's own situation so as not to be overcome by them. Howard Thurman
My atheism ... is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests. George Santayana
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe. Winston Churchill
Bob Marley quote: "It's your own conscience. That is gonna remind you. That it's..."
It's your own conscience. That is gonna remind you. That it's your heart and nobody else's. That is gonna judge. Bob Marley
Stephen King quote: "He was a romantic in his own harsh way…yet he was also realist..."
He was a romantic in his own harsh way…yet he was also realist enough to know that some times love actually did conquer all. Stephen King
Very few of the people who accentuate the futility of life remark the futility of themselves. Perhaps they think that in proclaiming the evil of living they somehow salvage their own worth from the ruin - but they don't, even you and I... F. Scott Fitzgerald
Let the liberal turn to the course of action, the course of all radicals, and the amused look vanishes from the face of society as it snarls, “That’s radical!” Society has good reason to fear the radical. Every shaking advance of mankind toward equality and justice has come from the radical. He hits, he hurts, he is dangerous. Conservative interests know that while liberals are most adept at breaking their own necks with their tongues, radicals are most adept at breaking the necks of... Saul Alinsky
