If you see that some aspect of your society is bad, and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only ONE thing: you can become better yourself.

Our greatest ability as humans is not to change the world; but to change ourselves.

If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make a change.

We should constantly be aspiring to reach higher and higher and higher. We should never be comfortable where we are.

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
