I have another name for what they're terming whistleblowers, and that's righteous heroes. From Bradley Manning to Snowden. They're people of conscience who are unwilling to turn a blind eye to the crimes of our government. And thank goodness for them.
Tom Morello
Image
I am thinking of the onion again. . . . Not self-righteous like the proletarian potato, nor a siren like the apple. No show-off like the banana. But a modest, self-effacing vegetable, questioning, introspective, peeling itself away, or merely radiating halos like ripples.
Erica Jong
Image
A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our present policies... True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. A true revolution of values will soon look on uneasily upon the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth with righteous indignation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Image
This is not a contest between persons. The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty - the cause of humanity.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
Don't let our outside labels or how fervent we look or zealous we are or how righteous we seem that's not how you measure yourself against other people. Everyone is a child of God if we really believed that, we'd treat each other better.
Mitch Albom
Image
Knowledge is not to be taken from four types of people: a foolish person who openly acts foolish, even if he reports the most narrations an adherent of bid'ah who calls to his desires a person who lies, even if I don't accuse him of lying in hadith and a righteous pious worshiper who does not accurately retain what he narrates.
Malik ibn Anas
Image
I wish I could be honest and true, but truth as I see it is not something abstract, a pious generality---It is justice at work, righteous, demanding, disciplined, sincere and unswerving otherwise, it is not, it cannot be truth at all.
F. Sionil José
Image
We must reacquaint ourselves with the biblical weight of the problem that we less-than-perfect human beings contend with in the face of a holy and righteous God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
I won't be righteous again. I'm not sure anymore.
Billy Joel
Image
Rituals don't make you righteous, it's uprightness: living up to moral principles and ethical principles, and submitting to universal law established by God.
Louis Farrakhan
Image
If you do not learn to hate you will never be lonely enough to love easily nor will you always be brave, although it does not grow any easier. Do not pretend to convenient beliefs, even when they are righteous you will never be able to defend your city while shouting.
Audre Lorde
Image
I realized that my righteous indignation was a form of entertainment for me. I loved getting pissed off at injustice. I didn't do anything about it, I just liked the feeling of being pissed off.
Harold Ramis
Image
The Righteous Salaf were as fearful of their good deeds being squandered, or not being accepted, as the present generation is certain that their neglect would be forgiven.
Hasan of Basra
Image
To be a righteous woman during the winding up scenes on this earth, before the second coming of our Savior, is an especially noble calling... She has been placed here to help to enrich, to protect, and to guard the home--which is society's basic and most noble institution.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
A righteous father protects his children with his time and presence.
Howard W. Hunter
Image
One of the many problems with the American left has been its image as something rather too solemn, mirthless, herbivorous, dull, monochrome, righteous, and boring.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
The self-righteous rule out the possibility that they are what has gone wrong.
Mason Cooley
Image
Time is the best preserver of righteous men.
Pindar
Image
Our confidence in Christ does not make us lazy, negligent, or careless, but on the contrary it awakens us, urges us on, and makes us active in living righteous lives and doing good. There is no self-confidence to compare with this.
Huldrych Zwingli
Image
The foolish are like ripples on water, For whatsoever they do is quickly effaced But the righteous are like carvings upon stone, For their smallest act is durable.
Horace
Image
Are you a censor? Do you tell people not to say “girl”? Shame on you! If nothing offends you, you’re a saint or you’re psychotic. If a few things offend you, deal with them--fairly. If you’re often offended by things, you’re probably a self-righteous asshole and it’s too bad you weren’t censored yourself--by your mother in an abortion clinic.
William T. Vollmann
Image
Righteous willin, the only thing supreme swimmin'.
Nelly
Image
Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
Stephen King
Image
Home should be a haven of love. Honor, courtesy, and respect symbolize love and characterize the righteous family.
Thomas S. Monson
