Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

The stern compression of circumstances, the twinges of adversity, the spur of slights and taunts in early years, are needed to evoke that ruthless fixity of purpose and tenacious wit without which great actions are seldom accomplished.

The only guide to a man's conscience, the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions.

As a leader, one must sometimes take actions that are unpopular, or whose results will not be known for years to come.

God will judge my heart, Man will judge my actions.
