“In fact, there are many unique satisfactions here. One is that Americans seem to outstrip every nation for hope. Perhaps because so many of us came in flight from something worse, or rose from poverty here, or absorbed the fact and fiction of the “land of opportunity,” or just because optimism itself is contagious—whatever the reason, hopefulness is what I miss the most when I’m not here. It’s the thing that makes me glad to come home. After all, hope is a form of planning.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
I, with millions of other Americans, have the same dream Martin Luther King Jr. had; when I wake up I wish some of the things I dreamt would be true. I wish that little black and white boys and girls would hold hands without being shocked at their nearness to each other and say in a natural way, "we have overcome.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.
Quote by -Muhammad Ali
The Nation of Islam's main focus was teaching black pride and self-awareness. Why should we keep trying to force ourselves into white restaurants and schools when white people didn't want us? Why not clean up our own neighborhoods and schools instead of trying to move out of them and into white people's neighborhoods?
Quote by -Muhammad Ali
We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds… A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any treat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
“Sorry, did I say something wrong?" said Marvin, dragging himself on regardless. "Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God I'm so depressed. Here's another one of those self-satisfied doors. Life! Don't talk to me about life.”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
“Nations should be governed by a council of learned men who must answer to the people for their actions.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
I'm against war with the United States. But I am an officer of the Imperial Navy and a subject of His Majesty the Emperor.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
A military man can scarcely pride himself on having 'smitten a sleeping enemy'; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
The mindless rejoicing at home is really appalling; it makes me fear that the first blow against Tokyo will make them wilt at once...I only wish that [the Americans] had also had, say, three carriers at Hawaii...
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
Should hostilities once break out between Japan and the United States, it is not enough that we take Guam and the Philippines, nor even Hawaii and San Francisco. To make victory certain, we would have to march into Washington and dictate the terms of peace in the White House. I wonder if our politicians, among whom armchair arguments about war are being glibly bandied about in the name of state politics, have confidence as to the final outcome and are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
To fight the United States is like fighting the whole world. But it has been decided. So I will fight the best I can.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
Should hostilities once break out between Japan and the United States, it is not enough that we take Guam and the Philippines, nor even Hawaii and San Francisco. We would have to march into Washington and sign the treaty in the White House.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
Today, as chief Of the guardians of the seas Of the land of the dawn, I gaze up with awe At the rising sun!
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
Anyone who has seen the auto factories in Detroit and the oil fields in Texas knows that Japan lacks the national power for a naval race with America.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
I entered the navy with the great ambition of becoming a naval soldier and going to war. Either I die from this festering wound - because I refuse to have my arm amputated - or I recover from it and continue being a soldier. I have a one-in-two chance, and I shall bet my life on it!
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
“American ethics”, which the European professors and well-meaning bourgeois so hypocritically deplore, have, in the age of finance capital, become the ethics of literally every large city in any country.”
Quote by -Vladimir Lenin
