The thing about rights is they’re not actually supposed to be voted on.
That’s why they’re called rights.
( Rachel Maddow )

Don’t let the ugly in others destroy the beauty in you.

No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them.
Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.
( Assata Shakur )

Don’t let the world make you hard.

I’m too busy loving the people who love me.

Charity is a cold grey loveless thing.
If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.

The cruel and the evil envy the kindness and the goodness that is inside of you.
They attempt to excuse and justify their cruelty and evil.
They envy the fact that you don’t have to pretend to be someone that you’re not.

One of the most remarkable of man’s characteristics is his capacity for becoming used to conditions of almost any kind, whether good or bad, both in the self and in the environment, and once he has become used to such conditions they seem to him both right and natural.
This capacity is a boon when it enables him to adapt himself to conditions which are desirable, but it may prove a great danger when the conditions are undesirable.
When his sensory appreciation is untrustworthy, it is possible for him to become so familiar with seriously harmful conditions of misuse of himself that these malconditions will feel right and comfortable.
( F. Matthias Alexander )

( Clement Attlee )

You come home, make some tea, sit down in your armchair, and all around there is silence.
Everyone decides for themselves whether that is loneliness or freedom.

Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.
( James Baldwin )

Have you ever listened to someone for a while and wondered…
“Who ties your shoelaces for you?”

I was never aware of any other option but to question everything.
( Noam Chomsky )

One child is worth more than all the guns on Earth.

The greatest want of the world is the want of men.
Men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.
( Ellen Gould White )

Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.
( Willie Nelson )
