“When we were together, I loved you deeply and you gave me so much happiness I can never repay you.”

“We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men.”

“I accepted the face that as much as I want to lead others, and love to be around other people, in some essential way, I am something of a loner.”

“You learn about equality in history and civics, but you find out life is not really like that.”

“My potential is more than can be expressed within the bounds of my race or ethnic identity.”

“A wise person decides slowly but abides by these decisions.”

“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”
