Whatever the outcome may be, the important thing is to step forward on the path that you believe is right.

Rise to the challenges that life presents you. You can't develop genuine character and ability by sidestepping adversity and struggle.

We should all develop the mind to rejoice in, praise and share in the gift of those who have artistic talents and a richness of heart, whether they achieve wide recognition or not. Cultivating such a beautiful mind is a very worthy effort. Culture and art are not just decorations. They are not just accessories. What matters is whether culture enriches the essential substance of our lives.

Men and women who know the brutal reality of war, who know that war strips people of their very humanity, must unite in a new global partnership for peace.

You must not for one moment give up the effort to build up new lives for yourself.

Health is not simply the absence of illness. Real health is the will to overcome every form of adversity and use even the worst of circumstances as a springboard for new growth and development. Simply put, the essence of health is the constant renewal and rejuvenation of life.

Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end.
