Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy.

Everything will be all right - you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.

Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history. And they will have to accept its verdict.

Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.

We've been climbing this mountain. We reached the top in 2005 and now we're on a very high plateau.
