Nowadays, with history not being taught anymore in American public schools, self-esteem is taking its place.
The older a people grows, the more it absorbs its own landscape and builds to it.
Truth is always exciting. Speak it, then; life is dull without it.
Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.
To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth.
The test of a civilization is in the way that it cares for its helpless members
The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.
What's very important is that we build a space that matters in the world, one that operates according to democratic rules, and that small and large countries enjoy a good relationship.
There has never been a greater illusion than fear. Fear exists only whilst you believe in it - whilst you fear it. So. . . stop believing, stop fearing. Set up a shadow inventory, write down all your fears and set out on your warrior path. Make this your life purpose and gold will be smelt from your terror.
Greaness IS for ALL of US. We just need to keep Believing in ourselves and follow our dreams.
This moment,which we are living right now will pass too. We have to enjoy, enjoy all that we can.
