“Success is not handed to you. You must work hard for it and you must never dishonor what you’ve achieved.”

“Just remember, Every day of your lives, you must always be sure what you’re fighting for.”

“We’re stepping into a new world, and an entire way of thinking must be changed. But the old ideas can’t be easily discarded. Like a pendulum, new ways must swing to the other side before returning.”

“It is not an act of bravery to try to save your own village. It is an instinct to protect what you possess. Bravery is when you step in to help when you have nothing to lose.”

“In the end, it doesn’t matter what words are said or unsaid. . . .Life’s mistakes are made whether you can see them or not. What counts is how we learn to live with them.”

“To read and write will help you understand life. . .to sew and mend will help you survive it.”

“...life is not just from within, it extends all around you, whether you wish it to or not.”
