In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal."

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Dreams are necessary to life.

There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life. . . . To seek a total unity is wrong. To give as much meaning to one's life as possible is right to me.

Pain - has an element of Blank - It cannot recollect When it begun - or if there were A time when it was not. . . .

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth.
