All virtue is summed up in dealing justly.

For me, there is no such thing as a negative experience.

If you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it's not religion, but you can train through education.

The foundation of nation building rests on education.

 Plan for the future but don’t starve yourself to death in the process.

One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.

Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.

Those who excel in virtue have the best right of all to rebel, but then they are of all men the least inclined to do so.

I mean, you have to be able - you have to have made the commitment within yourself to do whatever it takes to get the job done and to try to inspire other people to do it, because obviously the first rule is you can't do it by yourself.

The flower which is single need not envy the thorns that are numerous.

The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.
