Don't be disquieted in time of adversity. Be firm with dignity and self-reliant with vigor.

Democracy is liberty - a liberty which does not infringe on the liberty nor encroach on the rights of others; a liberty which maintains strict discipline, and makes law its guarantee and the basis of its exercise. This alone is true liberty; this alone can produce true democracy.

If one does not act, one cannot understand.

We live in the present, we dream of the future and we learn eternal truths from the past.

We write our own destiny ...we become what we do.

Don't be disquieted in time of adversity. Be firm with dignity and self-reliant with vigor.

China has no desire to replace Western imperialism in Asia with an Oriental imperialism or isolationism of its own or anyone else.
