When we talk about democracy, if the people's stomach is empty, democracy is also empty. Democracy can not be installed by fiat; it must be achieved by the people themselves.

True independence is not a gift to be received. It can't be a hand-out to people. It must be an achievement by the people.

The people are the foundation of the nation. Our only chance for a lasting peace on earth: the release of the strength of the common man.

We work with the people not out of pity but out of respect for their potential for growth and development, both as individuals and as communities.

Go to the people and live among them in order to know them and learn from them.

I must dedicate my life to teaching my people, for only education would make their lot less bitter, their latent power more strong.

Technical know-how of the experts must be transformed into practical do-how of the people.
