Hope is not a feeling of certainty that everything ends well. Hope is just a feeling that life and work have a meaning.

We must not be afraid of dreaming the seemingly impossible if we want the seemingly impossible to become a reality.

The only lost cause is one we give up on before we enter the struggle.

Someone who does not draw strength from himself and who is incapable of finding the meaning of his life within himself will...seek the map to his own orientation somewhere outside himself-in some ideology, organization, or society, and then, however active he may appear to be, he is merely waiting, depending. He waits to see what others will do, or what roles they will assign to him, and he depends on them-and if they don't do anything or if they botch things, he succumbs to disillusion, despair, and ultimately, resignation.

Those that say that individuals are not capable of changing anything are only looking for excuses.

Ownership is not a vice, not something to be ashamed of, but rather a commitment, and an instrument by which the general good can be served.
