The impression that you are a demigod worried me. I wanted to be like an ordinary human being with virtues and vices.

Tread softly, Brathe peacefully, Laugh hysterically.

Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS.

There is a constant struggle between good an evil in the world. It is up to good people to choose the right side

The past is a rich resource on which we can draw in order to make decisions for the future, but it does not dictate our choices. We should look back at the past and select what is good, and leave behind what is bad.

You negotiate in bad faith if you do not forgive your adversary.

Let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete. Where there is poverty and sickness, including AIDS, where human beings are being oppressed, there is more work to be done. Our work is for freedom for all.
