Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings we develop true regard for ourselves and our life will become sacred.

He wants them to do well so that they can shine, not for any other reason than that they can be their very best.

We better teach these lessons or else the country's future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief.
