It is obvious that taking the country from a state of war to being a lawful state won't be easy.

In two years, there were 22 military coups d'etat, essentially in Africa and the third world. The coup d'etat of Algiers, in 1965, is what opened the path.

Colonialism is an idea born in the West that drives Western countries - like France, Italy, Belgium, Great Britain - to occupy countries outside of Europe.

I accommodated practically all of the liberation movements, including those of Latin America.

There is always a better version of you waiting to be discovered.

Guilt is a useless feeling. It's never enough to make you change direction- only enough to paralyze you and make you... well, useless.

When we understand the mechanism of life then we can cooperate with it and live an abundant life.

A wrong mind-set is like bad soil that restricts a plant’s growth. Similarly, limiting beliefs about ‘what we deserve’ hinder our growth. They stop us from being abundant in every area of our life.

I know who I am by now. And I am my own brand.

Prayer is the laying aside of thoughts.

We count the courtesies accorded us by unpopular people as offenses.

In every nowhere town There are somewhere dreams.

There's always got to be a struggle. What else is there? That's what life is made of. I don't know anything else. If there is, tell me about it.
