"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

"Your comfort zone is a place where you keep yourself in a self-illusion and nothing can grow there but your potentiality can grow only when you can think and grow out of that zone."

"To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required - not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

"Create with the heart; build with the mind."

"It's much easier on the emotions when one sees life as an experiment rather than a struggle for popularity."

"Correct teaching brings out human excellence."

"The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord - it feels great - but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop."

"With no positivity, there is no hope; with no negativity, there is no improvement."

"Everything can be explained to the people, on the single condition that you want them to understand."

"It's a good sign but rare instance when, in a relationship, you find that the more you learn about the other person, the more you continue to desire them. A sturdy bond delights in that degree of youthful intrigue. Love loves its youth."

"If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them."

"We can’t build a nation by keeping the teachers hungry."

"Self-growth comes from being nurtured, not tortured. I had to learn this the hard way. On sale now: Iron Maiden. Only used once."

"I've come to the point where I never feel the need to stop and evaluate whether or not I am happy. I'm just 'being', and without question, by default, it works."

"You can't be a rebel without the scars that come with it. Truth is, some days scars are just as ugly as they are beautiful."
