I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.

The lie is a condition of life.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.

If you are a parent, open doors to unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don't make him afraid of the unknown,give him support.

Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.

Respect yourself if you would have others respect you.

Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
