John Lennon, "Imagine"

Imagine there's no heaven
it's easy if you try
no hell below us
above us only sky.
Imagine all the people
living in the world.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
Some day I hope you will join us
and the world will live as one.
Imagine there's no country
it isn't hard to do
nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too.
Imagine all the people
living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
Some day I hope you will join us
and the world will live as one.

Albert Einstein

Augustus De Morgan, "A Budget of Paradoxes"

Maseres was such an honest lawyer that he was not able to bear seeing his client victorious if he thought him guilty. As a result Maseres's business gradually fell off.

Plato

Those who have torches will pass them to others.

Chief Dan George

The white man is like the coyote, he wanders, finds a hunting ground and calls it his own. We are like our brother the bear ... we have only one home.

Ernest Becker

A protest without a program is little more than sentimentalism - this is the epitaph of many of the great idealisms.

Julius Nyerere, 1977

[Victory for] the forces of nationalism [is inevitable because] men will never willingly accept deliberate and organized humiliation as the price of existence.
