In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

The most powerful tools of revolution through intention are humility and consciousness.

In a country of ideas, consciousness is its' citizen.

In stating these matters, I speak an open and disinterested language, dictated by no passion but that of humanity. To me, who have not only refused offers, because I thought them improper, but have declined rewards I might with reputation have accepted, it is no wonder that meanness and imposition appear disgustful. Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.

There are no self-proclaimed villains, only regiments of self-proclaimed saints. Victorious historians rule where good or evil lies. We abjure labels. We fight for money and an indefinable pride. The politics, the ethics, the moralities, are irrelevant.

Without haters, you can't see the level of your progress, that shows you that haters are necessary evil.
