This is my belief: that through difficulties and problems God gives us the opportunity to grow. So when your hopes and dreams and goals are dashed, search among the wreckage, you may find a golden opportunity hidden in the ruins.

Without your involvement you can't succeed. With your involvement you can't fail.

The Bay of Bengal is hit frequently by cyclones. The months of November and May, in particular, are dangerous in this regard.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

When you speak, speak the truth; perform when you promise; discharge your trust... Withhold your hands from striking, and from taking that which is unlawful and bad.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness

If we are not free, no one will respect us.
