All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.
Most of my ideals and stuff really come from my mother.
Augustine says that you don't understand a nation by the throw weight of its military or the strength of its research universities or the size of its population, but by looking at what it loves in common.

It seems to be the fate of idealists to obtain what they have struggled for in a form which destroys their ideals.

The ideals and principles for which Dr King fought have never been forgotten and are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.
When I first started acting, I had all these ideals about the kinds of roles I wanted to play, but the reality is that when you do television - and I do a lot of television - you get cast for qualities that you have as a person. So I look for qualities that I like to portray.
We see people voting for bills that their ideals and principles are opposed to, but because their little funding project is in there, they're voting for it. We might say it's one percent of all spending but the impact of that spending is far greater.
My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.
