    “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.” — Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    “A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.” — Dr Martin Luther King Jr
    “As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.” — Nelson Mandela

    – Mahatma Gandhi
    “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” — Dr Martin Luther King Jr
    “Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” — Haile Selassie
    “If I sit silently, I have sinned.” — Mohammad Mossadegh
    “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.” — Robert F Kennedy

    There is no point of not enjoying life to the fullest and arriving at the grave in a well preserved body after having only cruised through life...

    Rather use it, have fun, race around and skid in sideways shouting...
    "Fuck, what a ride"

    “…shooting is a state of mind, whether with a $50,000 Holland & Holland Royal grade double rifle or the Daisy or the Crosman. To sneer and be ‘above’ such juvenile pleasures comes right off the limit of your moral credit card.”
