Citizenship consists in the service of the country.

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste. 

Small aim is a crime.

The best way to get a bad law repeal is to enforce it strictly.

One does not leave a convivial party before closing time. 

You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one.

We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party.

My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.

I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans. It was a place where they could come and find a sympathetic ear and a competent ally, a place where they would not be either turned away or cheated, a place where they might actually feel proud to be represented by men of their own skin color.

My social philosophy may be said to be enshrined in three words: liberty, equality and fraternity. Let no one, however, say that I have borrowed by philosophy from the French Revolution. I have not. My philosophy has roots in religion and not in political science. I have derived them from the teachings of my Master, the Buddha.

What we really are matters more than what other people think of us.

We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
