"I don't see the world as something..." - Quote by Indira Gandhi

“People with clenched fists can not shake hands.”

“Happiness is a state of mind, you know. I don't think you are permanently happy. One is happy about certain things and not so happy about others.”

“You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.”

“A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”

“I'm thinking, That's Barack Obama. He doesn't go to work. He doesn't go down to Congress and make a deal. What the hell's he doing sitting in the White House? If I were in that job, I'd get down there and make a deal. Sure, Congress are lazy bastards, but so what? You're the top guy. You're the president of the company. It's your responsibility to make sure everybody does well. It's the same with every company in this country, whether it's a two-man company or a two-hundred-man company... . And that's the pussy generation - nobody wants to work.”

“The end of all political associations is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man; and these rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance of oppression.”

“Harmony of aim, not identity of conclusion, is the secret of sympathetic life.”

“All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.”

“Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.”
