"A British, Muslim terrorist born and bred in Leeds once said that he will talk to the government in the only language they understand, violence. He said this because peaceful protests were held. Over the past decade, millions have marched and lobbied. Nothing has come of it. When someone asks to be heard, the worst thing you can do is to close your ears, your mind or your heart."
"A person who will admit their guilt with genuine shame is someone I respect. I almost exclusively respect those who are honest to others and to themselves."
"Telling the majority what it’s like to be discriminated against, is like telling a koala what it’s like to swim."
"An adult is someone who has fallen from grace and risen anew."
"When accused of some moral crime, people will fight tooth and nail to be proven innocent, especially when they have a shred of guilt."
"The only thing you truly have is your mind. Take care of it."
"In Guantanamo Bay, some inmates still smile. One should wonder how that’s possible."
"The greatest king and the poorest beggar are no different to a maggot’s hunger."
"Parents do not raise their children, communities do."
"You can only raise children to act as you do, not better, not worse. Whether or not the child follows your example is up to them."
"One may say that they KNOW they are right. In reality, they BELIEVE they are right. Beliefs can always be changed for something better, and if you find that better belief, grab it with both hands, especially if it changes everything."
"Be good and some may defend you. Be bad, and they will be blind to your cuts. Be honest and some may learn. Be deceitful and they will be deaf to your pleas."
All quotes by me.
