“Few things make the life of a parent more rewarding and sweet as successful children.”

One of the most difficult things is not to change society – but to change yourself.

Freedom can never be taken for granted.

There is no future without forgiveness.

There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.

Lead from the back – and let others believe they are in front.

Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.

It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.

Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice.

I want to sleep for eternity with a broad smile on my face. I want those who remain behind to say this man has done his duty.

The best weapon is to sit down and talk.

Great anger and violence can never build a nation.

Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace.

You mustn’t compromise your principles, but you mustn’t humiliate the opposition. No one is more dangerous than one who is humiliated.
