“In Thailand’s history there have been dissensions from time to time, but in general, unity has prevailed.”

I’d got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.

It is true, there are many bad people; there are more of them than in the past, but that is because there are more people, meaning the population has tripled; there must be three times more bad people.

I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.

I always designed my practice plans the night before and then made tweaks a few hours before practice began

All around the world, people believe that there is a great conflict between good and evil. Well, it’s true that there’s a conflict, but it only exists in the human mind.

Many other countries in this world are in a difficult situation, and all the Thai people are probably worried about the fate of Thailand: whether the country would survive or not.

The important thing for the survival of the Thai society is that the majority of those who work, both in the government and the private sector, still strive to work in the same direction; this is why the Thai nation still stands.

A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society; other persons will also be good.

Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent. Those who are not good are evil.

I am concerned because even in the past two years that were the jubilee years, I have seen evident signs which show that the people are still in great difficulties, and there are things that still need to be remedied and looked after in many areas.

It could be argued that, in Thailand, many foreigners have come and gone, and the number of people who are considered to be Thai have traveled abroad in a great number.

Everyone must correct his own self; this is something more difficult to cope with, but it is not impossible.

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men’s lives should not stake their own.

It is a world of increasing dissension and conflict in which a significant contribution is the failure of different ethnic, tribal, religious, or social groups to search for, and agree upon, a common space for harmonious co-existence.
