"Different people have different duties assigned to them by Nature; Nature has given one the power or the desire to do this, and the other that. Each bird must sing with his own throat."	Henrik Ibsen
"Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don't have a gun, freedom of speech has no power."	Yoshimi Ishikawa
"It is only when they go wrong that machines remind you how powerful they are."	Clive James
"Television is simultaneously blamed, often by the same people, for worsening the world and for being powerless to change it."	Clive James
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg."	Thomas Jefferson
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."	Thomas Jefferson
"I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others."	Thomas Jefferson
"When once a man has made celebrity necessary to his happiness, he has put it in the power of the weakest and most timourous malignity, if not to take away his satisfaction, at least to withhold it. His enemies may indulge their pride by airy negligence a"	Dr. Samuel Johnson
"The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things--the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit."	Dr. Samuel Johnson
"We have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society."	Lyndon Baines Johnson
"Whoever has the greatest command of the language, holds the power."	Susan Johnson
"I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life--specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far."	Erica Mann Jong
"We must exchange the philosophy of excuse--what I am is beyond my control--for the philosophy of responsibility."	Barbara Charline Jordan
"Awareness is not the same as thought. It lies beyond thinking, although it makes no use of thinking, honoring it's value and it's power. Awareness is more like a vessel which can hold and contain our thinking, helping us to see and know our thought as thought rather than getting caught up in them as reality."	Jon Kabit-Zinn
"It is easier to talk about money -- and much easier to talk about sex -- than it is to talk about power. People who have it deny it; people who want it do not want to appear to hunger for it; and people who engage in its machinations do so secretly."	Rosabeth Moss Kanter
"The only thing worse than a man you can't control is a man you can."	Margo Kaufman
"It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal."	Helen Adams Keller
"Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world - or to make it the last."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
