1) If you are not happy about anything in your world or society, be willing to change it within yourself first. Don’t complain. Complaining won’t take you anywhere. Nothing will change unless you change.

2) Happiness comes when you follow your own path. When you refuse to settle for others' expectations of what you should and shouldn’t be doing and instead live the life you know is right for YOU. When your actions in life back up your words, when you know inside you are living true to yourself, that is when you can’t be anything but happy. Happiness lies in integrity.

3) You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

4) I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

5) I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

6) The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.

7) Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

8) Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

9) If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.

10) Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.
