Behaviour is the mirror in which we can display our image.

Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Man and his deed are two distinct things.

Though violence is not lawful, when it is offered in self-defense or for the defense of the defenseless, it is an act of bravery far better than cowardly submission.
