"Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred."
- William O. Douglas
Love
"Men may believe what they cannot prove. They may not be put to the proof of their religious doctrines or beliefs. Religious experiences which are as real as life to some may be incomprehensible to others."
- William O. Douglas
Belief
"It is procedure that spells much of the difference between rule of law and rule by whim or caprice."
- William O. Douglas
Responsibility
"America is of course sovereign; but her sovereignty is woven in an international web that makes her one of the family of nations. The ties with all the continents are close-commercially as well as culturally. Our concerns are planetary, beyond sunrises and sunsets. Citizenship implicates us in those problems and perplexities, as well as in domestic ones. We cannot exercise and enjoy citizenship in world perspective without the right to travel abroad; and I see no constitutional way to curb it unless, as I said, there is the power to detain."
- William O. Douglas
Vision
"Yet as I read the Constitution, one of its essential purposes was to take government off the backs of people and keep it off."
- William O. Douglas
Philosophy
"What a wonderful time to be young! You have knowledge of many more things than we needed to have. It is my conviction that your generation is better and stronger than was ours — better in many ways! I have faith that you young men and young women can meet the world on its own terms and conquer it!"
- President Boyd K. Packer
Ambition
"Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too."
- Mark Twain
Ambition
"Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark. Aim for the company of immortals."
- David Ogilvy
Ambition
"No one changes the world who isn’t obsessed."
- Billie Jean King
Ambition
"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen."
- Michael Jordan
