Victor Hugo said you can stop an invasion of armies, but you can never stop an invasion of ideas. There's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. It wasn't until 1920, four years after my mother was born - and she's still alive and healthy - that women were given the right to vote. Now it's hard even to imagine that for the greater part of the history of our country fifty percent of the population was not allowed to vote.

Wayne Dyer

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time as come.

Victor Hugo

Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

One resists the invasion of armies; one does not resist the invasion of ideas.

Victor Hugo

Stronger than all the armies is an idea thats time has come. ... The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!
