Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Mankind's greatest moment is when they are willing to fight and give their lives for what is good.

Mankind's greatest folly is when they need to.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Have been thinking about this....and need to add to it.

Mankind's greatest moment is when they are wiling to fight and give their lives for what is good.

Mankind's greatest folly is when they need to.

Mankind's greatest disgrace is when they fail to.
