I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.

The golden rule for every business man is this: ‘Put yourself in your customer’s place.’

Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.

Every man, as long as he does not violate the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his own interest his own way, and to bring both his industry and capital into competition with those of any man or order of men.

You find out the necessity of Liberty as you find out the necessity of air—by not having enough of it.

I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.

They fear love because it creates a world they can't control.

Freedom exists not to do what you like but to have the right to do what you ought.

History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

When even one American, who has done nothing wrong, is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all Americans are in peril.

Thus not only does democracy make every man forget his ancestors, but it hides his descendants and separates his contemporaries from him; it throws him back forever upon himself alone and threatens in the end to confine him entirely within solitude of his own heart.

Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burned women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

If the machine of government is of such a nature that requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

Wherever there is injustice, war, discrimination against women, gays and the disadvantaged, I did my best to show up and exert moral persuasion.

My experience has shown me that we win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police.

The first requisite of civilization is that of justice.

Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If all people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth.

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh unless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither person nor property will be safe.

Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

Think enthusiastically about everything; but especially about your job. If you do, you'll put a torch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces. You'll love it into greatness, you'll upgrade it, you'll fill it with prestige and power.

The Golden Rule finds no limit of application in business.

The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

Honor bespeaks worth. Confidence begets trust. Service brings satisfaction. Cooperation proves the quality of leadership.

I had made the religion of service my own, as I felt that God could be realized only through service.

A society that tolerates intimidation as a means of settling disputes…loses its moral rights to exist as a social system, and its collapse does not take long to follow.

No matter how outrageous a lie may be, it will be accepted if stated loudly enough and often enough.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism… The one absolutely certain way of brining this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.

The purpose of Propaganda is to make one set of people forget that other sets of people are human.

Diversity of opinion within the framework of loyalty to our free society is not only basic to a university but to the entire nation.

The higher you soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.
