Every word he utters seems golden. The man of the millennium and his life principles.
1. First they don’t notice you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you. And then you win.
2. If I didn’t have a sense of humor, I would have committed suicide long ago.
3. The principle of “an eye for an eye” will make the whole world blind.
4. The world is big enough to satisfy the needs of any person, but too small to satisfy human greed.
5. If you want change in the future, be that change in the present.
6. The weak never forgive. Forgiveness is a property of the strong.
7. The best way to find yourself is to melt into service to others.
8. Whatever you do in life, it will be insignificant. But it’s very important that you do it.
9. Freedom is worthless unless it includes the freedom to make mistakes.
10. I know only one tyrant, and that is the quiet voice of conscience.
11. The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats animals.
12. It has always been a mystery to me: how people can respect themselves by humiliating others like themselves.
13. A small body, conditioned by the spirit and animated by an unquenchable faith in its mission, can change the course of history.
14. Love never demands, it always gives. Love always suffers – never protests, never avenges itself.
15. Find a goal – there will be resources.
16. The only way to live is to let live.
17. I only count on the good in people. I myself am not without sin, and therefore I do not consider myself entitled to focus on the mistakes of others.
18. It is not very wise to be sure of your own wisdom. It must be remembered that the strongest may show weakness, and the wisest may make a mistake.
19. Matters of conscience are not decided by majority vote.
20. Conquer hate with love, untruth with truth, violence with patience.
21. What is possible for one is possible for all.
22. No one can harm me without my consent.
23. God is love – this is the only truth that I fully recognize. Love is equal to God.
24. What difference does it make for the dead, the orphans and the homeless, in the name of which arbitrariness and destruction are being created – in the name of totalitarianism or in the name of sacred democracy and liberalism?
25. My conviction is that no man loses freedom except through his own weakness.
26. Man is the product of his own thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.
27. A “no” said with deep conviction is better than a “yes” said only to please or, worse, to avoid problems.
28. Strength is in the absence of fear, not in the number of muscles on our body.
29. True beauty lies in the purity of the heart.
30. If you want the world to change, become that change yourself.
