"Waiting for power to move to its inevitable collapse is suicidal for all concerned. Blacks and other Third World peoples have the very imminent prospect of genocidal tactics to contend with, and we can now all see that the modern industrial state, motivated by exclusive groups of capitalist masters, cannot regulate itself to make possible an inclusive production and distribution of goods, or production without a massive waste of resources and destruction of all that stands about. The debate ends, the action begins. It is not question of the necessity of violence, but of how to organize it."

"The highest function of philosophy is to enforce the attitude of meditation and therewithal restrain the excessive volubility of the tongue. To us it seems that the reflective thinker wins his greatest victories when by what he says he compels us to recognise the relative insignificance of anything he can say. His task is not to capture Reality, but to free it from captivity."

"A good man deliberating which of several actions proposed he shall choose, regards and compares the material goodness of them, and then is determined by his moral sense invariably preferring that which appears most conducive to the happiness and virtue of mankind."

"If men will not act for themselves, what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all?"

"The point I wish to make is this: McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter & did not ask, "Where is he at?" By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and the statue placed in every college of the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing — "Carry a message to Garcia!""

"In medias res."

"Fungar vice cotis, acutum Reddere quæ ferrum valet, exsors ipsa secandi."

"A man that's fond precociously of stirring, Must be a spoon."

"If action, however violent, evolves from character, there is no higher literary expression and the ultimate crystallization of character is likely to lie in physical rather than psychological action."

"Letting I dare not wait upon I would is a mug's game, and those who play it usually get mugged."

"people cannot take action if they don't have accurate information."

"Man is his own star, and the soul that can Render an honest and a perfect man, Commands all light, all influence, all fate. Nothing to him falls early or too late. Our acts, our angels are, or good or ill, Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."

"Let's meet and either do or die."

"Tempests occasionally shake our dwellings and dissipate our commerce; but they scourge before them the lazy elements, which without them would stagnate into pestilence."

"For strong souls Live like fire-hearted suns; to spend their strength In furthest striving action."

"Actions of the last age are like almanacs of the last year."

"It is better to wear out than to rust out."

"Our actions must clothe us with an immortality loathsome or glorious."

"When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking."

"An Iliad of woes."

"All these woes shall serve For sweet discourses in our time to come."

"One woe doth tread upon another's heel So fast they follow."

"O, woe is me, T'have seen what I have seen, see what I see!"

"At the bosom of the heaven, The woe keeps on spinning the wheel. The Milestone accompanies for hours, But the journey doesn’t end anywhere. The night is ready to meet the dawn, But my distance is not yet over. My children’s misfortunes Have stained my clothes, And the aloneness continues to lick my blood. The straws I gather from the ridge of the suburb, The Sun transforms them into the woes. It’s the eyes, that caused my dreams to burn, I remain under the sneaky watch of my own coffin."

"I was not always a man of woe."

"So perish all whose breast ne'er learned to glow For other's good or melt at other's woe."

"Woe unto you,… for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin."

"Long exercised in woes."

"Waste brings woe, and sorrow hates despair."

"And woe succeeds to woe."

"When one is past, another care we have; Thus woe succeeds a woe, as wave a wave."

"Woes, cluster; rare are solitary woes; They love a train, they tread each other's heel."

"Do not let the empty cup be your first teacher of the blessings you had when it was full. Do not let a hard place here and there in the bed destroy your rest. Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life."

""Gratitude is more of a compliment to yourself than someone else." Raheel Farooq"

""They both seemed to understand that describing it was beyond their powers, the gratitude that spreads through your body when a burden gets lifted, and the sense of homecoming that follows, when you suddenly remember what it feels like to be yourself." Tom Perrotta"

""Gratitude and attitude are not challenges; they are choices." Robert Braathe"

""Gratitude also opens your eyes to the limitless potential of the universe, while dissatisfaction closes your eyes to it." Stephen Richards"

""I truly believe we can either see the connections, celebrate them, and express gratitude for our blessings, or we can see life as a string of coincidences that have no meaning or connection. For me, I'm going to believe in miracles, celebrate life, rejoice in the views of eternity, and hope my choices will create a positive ripple effect in the lives of others. This is my choice." Mike Ericksen"

""The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you." John E. Southard"
