When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad.

He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men."

"When the best leader's work is done the people say, ''We did it ourselves.''"
