Let's not talk about it any more, but if you still want anything please write to me about it, because I can say what I mean much better on paper.

What's done can't be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again.

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.

We aren't allowed to have any opinions. People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn't stop you having your own opinion. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn't be prevented from saying what they think.

You can always give something, even if it is only kindness.

Riches, power and fame last only for a few years! Why do people cling so desperately to these transitory things? Why can't people who have more than they need for themselves give that surplus to their fellow citizens? Why should some people have such a hard time during their few years on this earth?

We can't control our destiny, but we can control who we become.
