Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. (Quote by - Henry Miller)

The monster, fanaticism, still exists, and whoever seeks after truth will run the risk of being persecuted. (Quote by - Voltaire)

We ought to be very cautious in the prosecution of magic and heresy. The attempt to put down these two crimes may be extremely perilous to liberty, and may be the origin of a number of petty acts of tyranny if the legislator be not on his guard; for as such an accusation does not bear directly on the overt acts of a citizen, but refers to the idea we entertain of his character. (Quote by - Charles-Louis De Secondat)

The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces, but which all experience refutes. (Quote by - John Stuart Mill)

Miserable creatures, thrown for a moment on the surface of this little pile of mud, is it decreed that one half of the flock should be the persecutor of the other? Is it for you, mankind, to pronounce on what is good and what is evil? (Quote by - Marquis De Sade)

War will disappear only when men shall take no part whatever in violence and shall be ready to suffer every persecution that their abstention will bring them. It is the only way to abolish war. (Quote by - Anatole France)

To punish a man because he has committed a crime, or because he is believed, though unjustly, to have committed a crime, is not persecution. To punish a man, because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked. (Quote by - Thomas B. Macaulay)

If none of us ever read a book that was dangerous had a friend who was different or joined an organization that advocated change we would all be the kind of people Joe McCarthy wants. (Quote by - Edward R. Murrow)

Persecution readily knits friendship between its victims. (Quote by - Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Distrust everyone in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. (Quote by - Friedrich Nietzsche)

Persecution to persons in a high rank stands them in the stead of eminent virtue. (Quote by - Cardinal de Retz)

There have been times I almost got a persecution complex. I felt like people wouldn't let me grow up. They always saw me as a smiling kid or goofy teenager, no matter how much I'd changed. (Quote by - Rick Schroder)

Most of the harm in the world is done by good people, and not by accident, lapse, or omission. It is the result of their deliberate actions, long persevered in, which they hold to be motivated by high ideals toward virtuous ends. (Quote by - Isabel Paterson)
