Don't raise your voice, improve your argument.

Aloha is free.

Madness does not govern a country; discussion does.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence.

If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.

Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.

In all negotiations of difficulty, a man may not look to sow and reap at once; but must prepare business, and so ripen it by degrees.

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

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.

People who know what they’re talking about don’t need PowerPoint.

We know how to speak many falsehoods which resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.
