I have always admired men and women who used their talents to serve the community, and who were highly respected and admired for their efforts and sacrifices, even though they held no office whatsoever in government or society.

The importance of a high moral code, which is at the foundation of the Scout movement, cannot be stressed too highly.

Even behind prison walls I can see the heavy clouds and the blue sky over the horizon

I should tie myself to no particular system of society other than of socialism.

I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.

It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
