Where there is no justice there can be no secure peace.
The true measure of the justice of a system is the amount of protection it guarantees to the weakest.
If you’re feeling helpless, help someone
You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right.
I always think challenges are interesting and help you to become a better person.
In societies where men are truly confident of their own worth, women are not merely tolerated but valued.
The only real prison is fear,and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.
