“Today the most civilized countries of the world spend a maximum of their income on war and a minimum on education. The twenty-first century will reverse this order. It will be more glorious to fight against ignorance than to die on the field of battle. The discovery of a new scientific truth will be more important than the squabbles of diplomats. Even the newspapers of our own day are beginning to treat scientific discoveries and the creation of fresh philosophical concepts as news. The newspapers of the twenty-first century will give a mere 'stick' in the back pages to accounts of crime or political controversies, but will headline on the front pages the proclamation of a new scientific hypothesis.

Progress along such lines will be impossible while nations persist in the savage practice of killing each other off. I inherited from my father, an erudite man who labored hard for peace, an ineradicable hatred of war.”
― Nikola Tesla (1935 - Liberty magazine)

"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction."

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)

"In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme."

"If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity."

"Our life is a convergence of all lives unfolding simultaneously"

(Devět životů: Žiji si radostně 5 let v Jurtě)

"To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact."

Charles Darwin (1809-1882)

"Dictators are never as strong as they tell you they are, and people are never as weak as they think they are."

Gene Sharp

"Too often...we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The US Constitution, 1st Admendment

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus
