Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.

If the opposition disarms well and good. If it refuses to disarm we shall disarm it ourselves.

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say and always a clever thing to say.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say 'We did it ourselves.'

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.

If there's any message to my work it is ultimately that it's OK to be different that it's good to be different that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different behaves different talks different is a different color.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
