827 – “The truth is, the end never comes for anything. There is no way to fix this weary world so it will stay and still be right. As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever. The objector and the rebel who raises his voice against what he believes to be the injustice of the present and the wrongs of the past is the one who hunches the world along.”
–Clarence Darrow (more…)
826 – “Things are as they are. Looking out into the Universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.”
–Alan Watts [Attributed] (more…)
825 – “History shows that no Administration from the time of Washington to the present has been free from … mistakes. I leave comparisons to history, claiming only that I have acted in every instance from a conscientious desire to do what was right, constitutional, within the law, and for the very best interests of the whole people. Failures have been errors of judgment, not of intent.”
–Ulysses S Grant, 18th President of the United States of America (more…)
685 – “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”

468 – “Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. And overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life. While poverty persists, there is no true freedom.”
–Nelson Mandela
435 – “You don’t need religion to have morals. If you can’t determine right from wrong, then you lack empathy and sympathy, not religion.”

357 – “Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.”
–Bill Clinton, 43rd President of the United States of America
