And he can fire everybody in the company -- from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. But I know somehow, that only when it is dark enough, you can see the stars. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than triumphant evil. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. A nation or civilization that continues to foster terrorism, purchases its own death on an instalment plan.

For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal.

Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource. Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. Liberty without learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain.

If a man hasn't discovered something that he would die for, he isn't fit to live. . Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true. We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. We have flown the air like birds and swum the seas like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.

Marriages are made in heaven; but they need maintenance on earth When you lose, don't lose the lesson DALAI LAMA Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. DALAI LAMA Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. DALAI LAMA Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. ABRAHAM LINCOLN A man is what he thinks about all day long.
