In uniform patriotism can salute one flag only, embrace but the first circle of life - one's own land and tribe. In war that is necessary, in peace it is not enough.
Bill Moyers

In fact, so much of life, as you know, is serendipitous. That's why you better be prepared at any time for anything, because it may happen to you.

Watching the debate this afternoon it was apparent they loved term limits in the House - as Brutus loved Caesar.
Bill Moyers
Image
The things I really cared about - poverty, the Great Society, civil rights - were all being drained away by the Vietnam War. The line that keeps running through my mind is the line I never spoke: I can't speak for a war that I believe is immoral.

Plutocracy too long tolerated leaves democracy on the auction block, subject to the highest bidder.
