“By working consistently and turned to among citizens, hence in a short of time surely achieved the intention that we meant for. For instance, a bridge would not be able to be made by only a person to cross the river, unless with cooperation of the people. If you are able to do that, you will become a citizen that will do service to the nation and race.”

— Abdul Halim of Kedah

Dengan bekerja tekun dan bekerjasama di-antara ra'ayat maka dalam masa yang singkat neschaya terchapai maksud yang kita tujukan. Mithal-nya sa-buah titi tidak dapat di-buat oleh sa-orang sa-haja untok menyeberangi sungai, melainkan dengan kerjasama ra'ayat. Sa-andai-nya kamu dapat ber-buat demikian, kamu akan menjadi ra'ayat yang akan ber-jasa terhadap nusa dan bangsa-nya.

“What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.”

What About This 2nd Amendment? (23 March 2009) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebybvhybt5w

“You have called upon us to expose ourselves to all the subtle machinations of their malignity for all time. And now, what do you propose to do when you come to make peace? To reward your enemies, and trample in the dust your friends? Do you intend to sacrifice the very men who have come to the rescue of your banner in the South, and incurred the lasting displeasure of their masters thereby? Do you intend to sacrifice them and reward your enemies? Do you mean to give your enemies the right to vote, and take it away from your friends? Is that wise policy? Is that honorable? Could American honor withstand such a blow? I do not believe you will do it. I think you will see to it that we have the right to vote. There is something too mean in looking upon the Negro, when you are in trouble, as a citizen, and when you are free from trouble, as an alien. When this nation was in trouble, in its early struggles, it looked upon the Negro as a citizen. In 1776 he was a citizen. At the time of the formation of the Constitution the Negro had the right to vote in eleven States out of the old thirteen. In your trouble you have made us citizens. In 1812 General Jackson addressed us as citizens; 'fellow-citizens'. He wanted us to fight. We were citizens then! And now, when you come to frame a conscription bill, the Negro is a citizen again. He has been a citizen just three times in the history of this government, and it has always been in time of trouble. In time of trouble we are citizens. Shall we be citizens in war, and aliens in peace? Would that be just?”

“If I can't do it, I will work on it until I can. If I become able to do it, I will work on it until I can do it perfectly. If I become able to do it perfectly, I will work on it until I can do it perfectly any number of times.”
