More is lost by indecision than wrong decision.

Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.

The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.

Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.

You can’t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

It is very important to know who you are. To make decisions. To show who you are.
