Motivational Quotes

Change

The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency.

Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.

- Macarthur, Douglas
