One man can make a difference and every man should try.
Action is eloquence
I’m better speaking with my own voice. That is one of the reasons I left the Senate
When I see something that's wrong, I just speak and act first and I'll take the consequences later.
On one hand, I am very pessimistic, but on the other hand, if I didn't believe that speaking up would do something, I wouldn't have spoken.
People are either with us or against us. If the line isn’t clear and there aren’t clear consequences, people migrate to the wrong side of the line.
You can't go through life and leave things the way they are. We can all make a difference, and if I die today, I know I made a difference.
There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.
I'm not out looking for a cause. They sort of find me or find my heart. But sure, there's always time for that. My big mouth can talk all the time.
I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a check in the right place and shutting up about it.
I like the feeling that I'm on the right side of history.
Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.
To be able to make a difference in one life is really what I'm all about. To make a change.
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean.
You can't just sit around and make protest albums all your life; eventually it comes to the point where you have to do something.
Leadership is not what you said on the Senate floor. It’s not what you’ve said. It’s what you’ve done.
I have no obligation to deal with slime.
If people are not listening to you as individuals, it's always good to get together and make a stand for something.
Inaction may be the biggest form of action.
There are voices and they must be heard.
You have to pick the places you don't walk away from.
Americans believe that if you know something, you should do something about it.
I need to keep quiet and do my talking on the pitch.
My grandmother, who passed away at the beginning of November, had a core adage in her life that 'life is not about what happens to you but about what you do with what happens to you.' She recently had been cajoling me and challenging me to do more with my life. To lead more of a purposefully public life.
