“Society often forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer.” 

Until recently each generation found it more expedient to plead guilty to the charge of being young and ignorant, easier to take the punishment meted out by the older generation (which had itself confessed to the same crime short years before). The command to grow up at once was more bearable than the faceless horror of wavering purpose, which was youth.

“To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman.”

We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.

The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.

Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
