Where words fail, music speaks.

When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, one hundred.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarters, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.

No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence.

It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

A setback only paves the way for a comeback.

Now what should happen when you make a mistake is this: You take your knocks, you learn your lessons and then you move on. That’s the healthiest way to deal with a problem.
