I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out.

Act with courage and dignity; stick to the ideals that give meaning to life.

Restraint does not mean weakness. It does not mean giving in.

Do not advise too much: do the job yourself. This is the only advice you can give to others. Do it and others will follow.

Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.

History is almost always written by the victors and conquerors and gives their view. Or, at any rate, the victors' version is given prominence and holds the field.
