Remember that deciding is not doing, and wanting is not choosing. Transformation will take place not because of what you decide you want, but because of what you choose to do.

Yet the basic fact remains: we live in a world marked by violence, and if we want to protect others, we sometimes have to be willing to fight.

There were a number of definitions of courage, but now I was seeing it in its simplest form: you do what has to be done day after day, and you never quit.

As warriors, as humanitarians, they've taught me that without courage, compassion falters, and that without compassion, courage has no direction.

...it's not enough to fight for a better world; we also have to live lives worth fighting for.

Life is short. Life is uncertain. But we know that we have today. And we have each other. I believe that for each of us, there is a place on the frontlines.

If we want to change something, we must begin with understanding. But if we want to love something, we must begin with acceptance.

Alone, human beings can feel hunger. Alone, we can feel cold. Alone, we can feel pain. To feel poor, however, is something we do only in comparison to others.

If people can live through genocide and retain compassion, if they can take strength in pain, if they are able, still, to laugh, then certainly we can learn something from them.

Federal overreach from agencies like the EPA is hurting family farms. I will fight against these crippling regulations, and always side with the hard working farmers and ranchers of Missouri.

Warriors are warriors not because of their strengh, but because of their ability strengh to good purpose

You must choose to risk what you fear to lose to gain everything you desire

Adversities test whether we really can live for our dreams.

The building of friendship, family, community and love is complicated. We are so isolated in this country, no longer supported by tribes and villages.

I'm going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you're not going to believe it.

I am here because God is there.

I always emphasize the historic role of people of color in organizing and protesting to achieve justice.

All Prodigy music is raw, and that will never change, the production is raw, the sounds are dirty, you can't get away from that. Take it or leave it.

We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We are Americans. That's what we do.

I believe that great weirdness stalks the universe. That's not the issue with me, but it is not tacky. It is not tacky.

I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.
