My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to make him a better follower of his own faith.
If you want something really important to be done you must not merely satisfy the reason, you must move the heart also.
There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.
True love is boundless like the ocean and, swelling within one, spreads itself out and, crossing all boundaries and frontiers, envelops the whole world.
Civilization is the encouragement of differences.
The more efficient a force is, the more silent and the more subtle it is.
Champions are made from something they have deep inside of them-a desire, a dream, a vison.
The path is the goal.
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.
Manliness consists not in bluff, bravado or loneliness. It consists in daring to do the right thing and facing consequences whether it is in matters social, political or other. It consists in deeds not words.
What barrier is there that love cannot break?
I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one's self-respect.
I claim to be no more than the average person with less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith.
They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.
