Security is always excessive until it's not enough.

That's exhilarating if you're doing well, and very crushing if you're not. It leads, in the worst cases -- in the analysis of a sociologist like Emil Durkheim -- it leads to increased rates of suicide. There are more suicides in developed, individualistic countries than in any other part of the world. And some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally -- they own their success, but they also own their failure.

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

In times of crisis, true leadership is measured by actions, not words.

What can be shown, cannot be said.

I’m not afraid to be different, I’m afraid to be the same.
