In this age, the mere example of non-conformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service. precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach, it is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric. eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage which it contained. that so few now dare to be eccentric, marks the chief danger of the time.

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

The gaelic league is founded not upon hatred of england, but upon love of ireland. hatred is a negative passion; it is powerful - a very powerful destroyer; but it is useless for building up. love, on the other hand, is like faith; it can move mountains, and faith, we have mountains to move.
Powerful Moving Passion
