And even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as honest man can be tortured into telling a lie. - William Faulkner

I am too old for this. I was born too old for it, and so I am sick to death for quiet.

A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.

Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion, against injustice and lying and greed. If you, not just you in this room tonight, but in all the thousands of other rooms like this one about the world today and tomorrow and next week, will do this … as individuals, men and women, you will change the earth; in one generation all the Napoleons and Hitlers and Caesars and Mussolinis and Stalins and all the other tyrants who want power and aggrandizement, and the simple politicians and time-servers who themselves are merely baffled or ignorant or afraid, who have used, or are using, or hope to use, man’s fear and greed for man’s enslavement, will have vanished from the face of it.
