It is easier to find a score of men and women wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition to stand up for it. ~ A. A. Hodge
The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself. ~ Jane Addams
The state has, in order to control us, introduced division into our thinking, so that we come to distrust others and look to the state for protection! But the roots of our individualism remind us that what we are is inseparable from the source from which all others derive; that coercive practices that threaten our neighbor also threaten us. ~Butler Shaffer
I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for those tiny invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride. ~ William James
