It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.
There are people who have money and people who are rich.
Some people come into our life as a blessing, while others come into our life as a lesson, so love them for who they are instead of judging them for who they are not.
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Leadership is about doing the right thing, even if it going against a vast number of naysayers and mediocre people.

I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.
Research has shown that people who volunteer often live longer.
When you realize who the good people are in your life, you're so lucky.
It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.
Never expect people to treat you any better than you treat yourself.
