The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.

There are not fifty ways of fighting, there's only one, and that's to win. Neither revolution nor war consists in doing what one pleases.

The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.

A political leader is necessarily an imposter since he believes in solving life's problems without asking its question.

Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.

The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.

Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
