Two great quotes of Ralph Nader are: "Everything I am has to do with the individual. My efforts focus on convincing citizens they can still play an convincing role in America today. They can take on large organizations and create change. They can improve the quality of their lives and those of others. They can make the future better-for all of us." Another great quote Nader said was: "You should not allow yourself the luxuries of discouragement and dispair. Bounce back immediately and welcome the adversity because it produces harder thinking and harder drive to get to the objective.
