Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity?

Do not romanticize the poor...We are all people, human beings subject to the same temptations and faults as all others. Our poverty damages our dignity.

True wealth is not measured in money or status or power. It is measured in the legacy we leave behind for those we love and those we inspire.

If you're not frightened that you might fail, you'll never do the job. If you're frightened, you'll work like crazy.

You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.

I would not take one cup of coffee from a grower...There's not a good one. I hate them. A few presents, a little talk, then the noose. That's how capitalism works.

From the depth of need and despair, people can work together, can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.
