Individual Quotes
-
The only legitimate interpretation of the concept of the "public" is that it's a highly heterogeneous group of people, and I cannot imagine who has the right to speak on their behalf using a "public" voice.

The greatest fairness in society is to defend the difference between each individual - the fairness and truthfulness of their inconsistency and differentiation.

Gene said he learned more about the technique of boxing and punching from watching Mike training in New York gymnasiums and in actual fights in Gotham than he learned from any other individual associated with the fistic sport. Moreover, Tunney has told me it was Gibbons' clean-cut victory over Jack Dillon, the mighty light heavyweight from Indianapolis, that inspired in him the belief he could whip Jack Dempsey.

You would be surprised at the amount of time this saves.

If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God. We must serve him in whatever way we are called.

Mother Teresa -
The key to the 99 is the one. Or, put another way, the key to the group is the one individual. Think about the one, talk to the one, regard the one, serve the one. If you are sincere and constant, you will discover that gradually your influence with the many will be magnified.
