Yusuf Idris quotes

I don't have a life of my own. I've put myself and my life at the service of the people. If necessity dictates I run, I run.. go to jail, I go to jail.. die, I die.My private aspirations are exactly the general aspirations of the people.
-- Yusuf Idris

It has support across the political spectrum and also the support of the majority of the American people.

Facts are what pedantic, dull people have instead of opinions.

The bells they sound on Bredon, And still the steeples hum. "Come all to church, good people"- Oh, noisy bells, be dumb; I hear you, I will come.
