Albert Einstein	Life isn't worth living, unless it is lived for someone else. Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player. I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Mahatma Gandhi	The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. You can't shake hands with a clenched fist. Nobody can hurt me without my permission Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind. They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them. There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.
Che Guevara	I don't care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting. I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man. The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall. Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms. If you tremble indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine. To accomplish much you must first lose everything. At the risk of sounding ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by feelings of love. Better to die standing, than to live on your knees.
Mother Teresa	We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one. I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody. We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love. I never will understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish. I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Malcolm X	You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it. The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses. We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary. A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything. You show me a capitalist, and I'll show you a bloodsucker. Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it. If you have no critics you'll likely have no success. If you're not ready to die for it, put the word ''freedom'' out of your vocabulary.
Mark Twain	Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. It is by the fortune of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either. Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. Of all the animals, man is the only one that lies. A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar. Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
Muhammad Ali	The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life. I don't always know what I'm talking about but I know I'm right. Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong. Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up. When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace. Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me. I got nothing against no Viet Cong. No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger.
Winston Churchill	I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. Before we proceed further let us get one thing clear. Are we talking about the brown Indians in India, who have multiplied alarmingly under the benevolent British rule? Or are we speaking of the red Indians in America who, I understand, are almost extinct? History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
Nelson Mandela	There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires. If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner. After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”
George Bernard Shaw	Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. Patriotism is the conviction that your country is superior to all others because you were born in it. If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.	A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others? The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
