I love people. I love my family, my children… but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your springs that never dry up.

I could not understand how any man could be so brutalized as to claim the right to dispose of the lives of others, nor how any man could be so lacking in self-esteem as to grant to others the right to dispose of his life.

What the superior man seeks is in himself. What the small man seeks is in others.

The reason angels can fly is because they take themselves lightly.

The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself.

You don't have to be big or well known to be great.
