To 'choose' dogma and faith over doubt and experience is to throw out the ripening vintage and to reach greedily for the Kool-Aid.

To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes.

Education is a fundamental principle of what made America a success. We can't afford to throw any young people away.

Not only the priceless heritage of our fathers of our seamen of our Empire builders is being thrown away in a war that serves no British interests - but our alliance leader Stalin dreams of nothing but the destruction of that heritage of our fathers?

I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now.

When the will defies fear when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism.
