There is only one purpose in life, which is happiness. We attain happiness by serving others with love and kindness.
People who put themselves on the line and sacrifice their own safety for the greater good and for others, and anyone in any profession whose concern is the welfare for other people instead of the individual, are inspiring and important.
It is literature which for me opened the mysterious and decisive doors of imagination and understanding. To see the way others see. To think the way others think. And above all, to feel.
The country needs the political work of women today as much as it has ever needed woman in any other work at any other time.
I think that Europeans in general have a more global view of the world because they are in such proximity to other countries that it enables them to travel and see other parts of the world.

One measure of your success will be the degree to which you build up others who work with you. While building up others, you will build up yourself.
