I found these two quotes while surfing the net and thought I should post them here:
1. “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.” — Noam Chomsky, speaking in a BBC television interview with John Pilger on The Late Show
2. “We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind?…….We make our own destiny.” — Swami Vivekananda
