I.
I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes
from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s
head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark
moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could
not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.
II.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear,
but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but
he who conquers that fear.
III.
Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is
sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with
the hope that he will rise even in the end.
IV.
It always seems impossible until it’s done.
V.
When a man has done what he considers to be his duty
to his people and his country, he can rest in peace.
VI.
Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the
freedom of their people.
VII.
A fundamental concern for others in our individual and
community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so
passionately dreamt of.
VIII. Everyone can rise
above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and
passionate about what they do.
IX.
Education is the most powerful weapon
which you can use to change the world.
X.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains,
but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
XI.
Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many
times I fell down and got back up again.
XII.
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.
XIII. Money won’t create
success, the freedom to make it will.
XIV. We must use time
wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.
XV.
Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never
extinguished
XVI. Resentment is like
drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
XVII.
I like friends who have independent minds because they
tend to make you see problems from all angles.
XVIII.
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable
combination.
XIX.When people are determined
they can overcome anything.
