Quote

There are people who can look out for other human beings; there are people who can speak up when something is not right and say, 'This is wrong, and something should be done.'

When I see something that's wrong, I just speak and act first and I'll take the consequences later.

Beware, all too often we say what we hear others say. We think what we are told that we think. We see what we are permitted to see. Worse, we see what we are told that we see.

When I see something that I think isn't right, I think I have some kind of, for right or wrong, an obligation to fix it.

If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that sometimes our assumptions and preconceived notions are wrong, and therefore, our interpretation of events is incorrect. This causes us to overreact, to take things personally, or to judge people unfairly.

When you least expect it, someone may actually listen to what you have to say.

Upon the subjects of which I have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only sometimes to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them.

It is a curious thing, but I have been right in everything I have done and said in my life.

Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.

There are things you stand up for because it's right.
