Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.
I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against.
