"Courage is when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through."
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view."
"Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win."
"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
