At the end of the day, love and compassion will win.

Sometimes the wheels of justice grind slowly.

Freeing hostages is like putting up a stage set, which you do with the captors, agreeing on each piece as you slowly put it together; then you leave an exit through which both the captor and the captive can walk with sincerity and dignity.

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.

Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success.

The winners in life treat their body as if it were a magnificent spacecraft that gives them the finest transportation and endurance for their lives.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.

You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.

You must stick to your conviction, but be ready to abandon your assumptions.

You must understand that seeing is believing, but also know that believing is seeing.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

Life is not accountable to us. We are accountable to life.
