“We have to have pride in not just one people but all people.”

Fear’s what puts dreams to sleep.

For the most part, I feel really comfortable with what I’ve given to the people. I want to give it to them again.

Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don’t limit myself.

Democracy is wasted on people who don’t respect it.
