Theodore RooseveltTheodore Roosevelt·1898

Don't let anyone impose on you. Don't be quarrelsome, but stand up for your rights. If you've got to fight, fight hard and well. To my mind, a coward is the only thing meaner than a liar.

SocratesSocrates·399 BC

It would be better for me... that multitudes of men should disagree with me rather than that I, being one, should be out of harmony with myself.

EpictetusEpictetus·125 AD
