“To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.”

“Freedom is not an abstaction, nor is a little of it enough. A little more is not enough either. Having less, being less, empoverished in freedom and rights, women then invariably have less self-respect: less self-respect than any human being needs to live a brave and honest life.”

“Even though human life may be the most precious thing on earth, we always behave as if there were something of higher value than human life.”

“Both liberty and equality are among the primary goals pursued by human beings throughout many centuries; but total liberty for wolves is death to the lambs, total liberty of the powerful, the gifted, is not compatible with the rights to a decent existence of the weak and the less gifted.”

“Every day, people settle for less than they desearve. They are only parially living or at best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness.”

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.”
