Some Interesting quotes

I came across a few quotes which I thought were interesting.
Here they are:

True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you want.
~ Larry Wall, Creator of Perl

The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
~ Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

When all else fails, men turn to reason.
~ Abba Eban

Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.
~ Mark Twain

The way to succeed is to double your error rate.
~ Thomas J. Watson

If you can't solve a problem, it's because you are playing by the rules.
~ Paul Arden

A leader is not an administrator who loves to run others, but someone who carries water for his people so that they can get on with their jobs.
~ Robert Townsend

Insanity in individuals is something rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.
~ Nietzsche

We, on our side, are praying to Him to give us victory, because we believe we are right; but those on the other side pray to Him, too, for victory, believing they are right. What must He think of us?
~ Abraham Lincoln

Why call Him God?

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent.
Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent.
Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?
--Epicurus, Greek Philosopher.
