Hear with your ears, that which is the sovereign good. With a clear mind look upon the two sides, between which each man must choose for himself. Watchful beforehand that the great test may be accomplished in our favour.

Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.


A man’s value depends upon his courage and resolution, his veracity depends upon his traits of nobility and self respect and his chastity depends upon his sense of honour.


Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.


Every person has both a bad heart and a good heart. No matter how good a man seems, he has some evil. No matter how bad a man seems, there is some good about him. No man is perfect.

Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the persecuted in other countries.
