To know and not to do is not to know.
--Chinese proverb
What did you learn in school today, Ralph? Did you learn how to believe or did you learn how to think?
--Nathra Nader
Only the ideas that we really live have any value.
--Hermann Hesse
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
--Socrates
I am not going to allow anybody to pull me so low as to use the very methods that perpetuated evil throughout civilization. I'm sick and tired of violence. I'm tired of the war in Vietnam. I'm tired of war and conflict in the world. I'm tired of shooting. I'm tired of selfishness. I'm tired of evil. I'm not going to use violence no matter who says it!
--Martin Luther King
