All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire. |
As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison. |
Freedom is not lost all at once, it is lost in units of one, one at a time, one activist, one lawyer, one writer till finally it's each one of us. |
If I cared about what other people thought of me, I wouldn't be where I am right now. |
Satisfaction is like death. The day I'll be satisfied, I'll quit! |
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. |
There are hurdles, there are handicaps, hardships you have to face in life, but you hope for a great future. |
There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart. Pursue these. |
If the present hurts too much, then you need painkillers. The future is a painkiller: tomorrow everything is going to be okay. It is only a question of today. You have tolerated so much, just a little more, just a little more, and it is always today that comes, it is never tomorrow. Tomorrow always looms there near the horizon. The distance between you and tomorrow remains constantly the same, but it keeps you running, changing, chasing, dreaming, fantasizing about the future. |
If you have a strong purpose in life, you don't have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there. |
