A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

I lived in a country where I couldn't live where I wanted to live. I lived in a country where I couldn't go where I wanted to eat. I lived in a country where I couldn't get a job, except for those put aside for people of my colour or caste.

If you apologize because you are afraid, then you are a child not a man.

You don't have to become something that you aren't to become better than you are.
