I inherited a sick economy and passed on a sound one. But one abiding regret for me is that, in between, I did not have the resources to put in place the educational and social changes about which I cared to much; I made only a beginning, and it was not enough.
Life is full of surprises.

Society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less.
I would rather go while I am being urged to stay, than to stay beyond the time when I should go.
