Sometimes, a defeat can be more beautiful and satisfying than certain victories. The English have a point in insisting that it matters not who won or lost, but how you played the game.

We must reach out our hand in friendship and dignity both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.

Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time.

It doesn't have to glitter to be gold.
