“History is a people’s memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.”

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.

Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.

Reform is for people who have government connections, revolution is for the people!

Everybody shall be accepted no matter what they stand for, you are not always going to agree on their faith.

People don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book.

In fact, once he is motivated no one can change more completely than the man who has been at the bottom. I call myself the best example of that.

Only a fool would let his enemy teach his children.

A race of people is like and individual man; until it uses its own talent, takes pride in its own history, expresses its own culture, affirms its own selfhood, it can never fulfill itself.

If not now then when, if not me then who?

Ignorance of each other is what has made unity impossible in the past.

If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

Hence I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.

The only persons who really changed history are those who changed men’s thinking about themselves.

I really love animals and enjoy working with them.

Even if not a single fossil has ever been found, the evidence from surviving animals would still overwhelmingly force the conclusion that Darwin was right.

According to the latest figures, 75 percent of Earth’s land surface has been severely altered by humans. Deforestation and unsustainable agriculture as well as the illegal trade of endangered wildlife increase the risk of human-animal contact.

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.

Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit other qualities connected with the social instincts which in us would be called moral.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.

The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion.

I’m a hard guy to live with. I’m like a caged animal. I’m up all night walking around the living room. It’s hard for me to come down from what I do.
