1. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
2. I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
3. It always seems impossible until it's done.
4. After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
5. Money won't create success, the freedom to create it will.
6. There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
7. To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.
8. Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.
9. It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.
10. It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
11. Any man or institution that tries to robe me of my dignity will lose.
