I am the East. I have philosophies, I have religions, who would exchange them for airplanes?

The heart yields spontaneity; the mind bends to understanding.

Freedom of the Spirit is the cornerstone of all freedom.

The West for me means ambition, the East contentment. My heart is ever in one, my soul in the other.

You teacher, teach your pupils freedom in thought and deed, honesty in thought and deed, and tolerance in thought and deed.

My first wish is to be simple in my actions, truthful in my speech, honest in my opinions, and natural in my behavior. In other words, I want to be clean in mind, heart, and body.

Self-reliance leads to intellectual independence. Each man must think for himself, must train the mind to think, must habituate the soul to observe and analyze.
