Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

I felt it shelter to speak to you.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.
