As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it.

The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.

I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.

The politicians think that I have not included enough of them; the nonpoliticians think that I have gone back to the old ways; and the mass public groups think I have forgotten them.

I was very privileged and really blessed with so many material and spiritual gifts that I should give back, ... I should do something for my people, but ... it's not just in politics that you can be a servant of the people, you can do it in so many other ways.

I know there isn't anything I can do that will please everybody. But if I have done according to my beliefs, I sleep very very well.

Keep inviolate an area of light and peace within you.
