“After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”

To see me does not necessarily mean to see my face. To understand my thoughts is to have seen me.

He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap.

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it’s too late.

It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.

Live and learn and pass it on.

I’m destined to live and say things.
