"If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They'll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government." -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Without exhaustive debate, even heated debate, of ideas and programs, free government would weaken and wither. But if we allow ourselves to be persuaded that every individual or party that takes issue with our own convictions is necessarily wicked or treasonous, then, indeed, we are approaching the end of freedom's road." -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen." -Muhammad Ali

To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity. - Oscar WildeI liked this quote when greeted with it on the google quote thing this morning. Plus I've always wanted to quote Oscar Wilde just because I wanna feel all sophisticated like good for you, paul the quiet! I don't have a quotable quote at the moment, but I made this one up some time ago. "A gift displayed is a compliment to the giver; how much more when their gift is seen used"

“The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding. On the whole men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance which fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.”
-Albert Camus
