“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

“Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?”

“Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening.”

“i love playing and chatting with children...feeding and putting them to bed with a little story, and being away from the family has troubled me throughout my...life. i like relaxing at the house, reading quietly, taking in the sweet smell that comes from the pots, sitting around a table with the family and taking out my wife and children. when you can no longer enjoy these simple pleasures something valuable is taken away from your life and you feel it in your daily work.”

“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

“You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution.”
