While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is.

The country clubs, the cars the boats,\ Your assets may be ample,\But the best inheritance\You can leave your kids\Is to be a good example.

Adults are obsolete children.

To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves.

Don't join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go into your library and read every book.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color, is like living in Alaska and being against snow.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?

It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts.

Truth is a pathless land.
