We often forget that calling for peace is the most courageous act we can take. It's easy to call for revenge, to claim injustice, and to launch an attack. It's much more difficult to forgive, to call for peace, to lay down weapons.

Dillon Burroughs

Criticizing to destroy is easy, thinking in order to build is much more difficult to achieve

Tariq Ramadan

To destroy a man is difficult, almost as difficult as to create one: it has not been easy, nor quick, but you Germans have succeeded. Here we are, docile under your gaze; from our side you have nothing more to fear; no acts of violence, no words of defiance, not even a look of judgment.

Primo Levi

To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as one thinks is the most difficult.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Because if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us! Never forget this!

Pope Francis

It's easy to be a bad ass, it's easy to act like a bad ass, easy to act like a tough guy, it's easy to be a diva, and it's easy to be self absorbed. The list goes on and on but to me, I always just find it more important to be nice and kind.

Dwayne Johnson

There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new order of things..... Whenever his enemies have occasion to attack the innovator they do so with the passion of partisans, while the others defend him sluggishly so that the innovator and his party alike are vulnerable.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Some of us need to discover that we will not begin to live more fully until we have the courage to do and see and taste and experience much less than usual... And for a man who has let himself be drawn completely out of himself by his activity, nothing is more difficult than to sit still and rest, doing nothing at all. The very act of resting is the hardest and most courageous act he can perform.

Thomas Merton

Every worthy act is difficult. Ascent is always difficult. Descent is easy and often slippery.

Mahatma Gandhi

Dreams are difficult to build and easy to destroy.

Seth Godin

destruction is easy for humans but creation is too difficult.

Daniel J. Boorstin

When I was 34, I went and had my eggs harvested. Looking back, I was like, 'It was easy,' but it wasn't that easy. It's a lot of medication, a lot of hormones. You have to inject yourself in the stomach and I'm so terrified of needles! It was a difficult thing for me to do.

Bridget Marquardt

I find it difficult to accept that it is the will of God that humanity should degrade, deface, desolate, and ultimately perhaps destroy His Creation on Earth. Yet this is the course on which we are embarked.

Russell E. Train

To understand is difficult; to act is easy.

Sun Yat-sen

Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transient. To act is easy, to think is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome. Every beginning is cheerful: the threshold is the place of expectation.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.
