Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
It is better to allow our lives to speak for us than our words.
Speak only if it improves upon the silence.
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.
One has to speak out and stand up for one's convictions. Inaction at a time of conflagration is inexcusable.
Why should I need an artist to explain a work of art to me? Why should it not speak out to me itself?
We cannot be speakers who do not listen. But neither can we be listeners who do not speak.
God speaks to us every day only we don't know how to listen.
I may be a despicable person, but when Truth speaks through me I am invincible.
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
