Some great examples...

If you can conceive of morality without god, why can you not conceive of society without government?
~ Peter Saint-André

Civil disobedience, that’s not our problem. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem.
~ Howard Zinn

A terrorist is someone who has a bomb but can’t afford an air force.
~ William Blum

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be ... surer of the noose than a private homicide.
~ H. G. Wells

Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.
~ Lucy Parsons

Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
~ Plato

Everyone likes to say Hitler did this and Hitler did that. But the truth is Hitler did very little. He was a world class asshole, but the evil actually done, from the death camps to World War Two, was all done by citizens who were afraid to question if what they were told by their government was the truth or not...
~ Michael Rivero

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
~ Lao tzu

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves; it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
~ Agnes Repplier

Maybe some of you could pick your favourite/s and explain why?
