We become responsible for the actions of others the instant we become conscious of what they are doing wrong and fail to remind them of what is right."

And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe."

I say awful things when I'm angry. But it's not fair to me, either, that I was made this way."
