- Helen Keller
Aye, fight! But not your neighbor. Fight rather all the things that cause you and your neighbor to fight.
- Mikhail Naim
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed.
- Abraham Lincoln
Don't ever let them pull you down so low as to hate them. (also cited as: I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.)
- Booker T. Washington
Don't be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against -- not with -- the wind.
- Hamilton Mabie

- Hildegarde Goss-Mayr
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
- Moshe Dayan
Peace begins when the hungry are fed.
- Anonymous

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
