As citizens of a free society, we have a duty to look critically at our world. But if we think we know what is wrong, we must act upon that knowledge.

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

It ain't ignorance that causes all the trouble in this world. It's the things people know that ain't so.

What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible.

I believe everybody is responsible for what they do themselves.

It is human nature to favor individuals and institutions who we know or for whom we feel responsible.

One must always be aware, to notice even though the cost of noticing is to become responsible.

People have motives and thoughts of which they are unaware.

People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.

Sometimes, our expectations of being all-knowing is somewhat unrealistic. At the end of the day, there are people out there who mean harm to us, are thinking about doing harm to us and motivated to do it, and we don't know what that is.
