I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.

Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather it is a deepening of the present and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.

We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us but rather it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life and the promise of future accomplishments.

When it comes to war we focus more on the mainstream coverage of the event rather than the event itself. People dying is never funny. Protest puppets are always funny.

There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects rather an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.

If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us we often find that it is those who instead of giving advice solutions or cures have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

America has never seen itself as a national state like all others but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy.

Freedom is an internal achievement rather than an external adjustment.

The abortion license has not brought freedom and security to women. Rather it has ushered in a new era of irresponsibility toward women and children one that now begins before birth.

It would be too frightening for me to consider myself a role model. But I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you to feel the freedom of expression to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.

The Bill of Rights was intended to secure freedom of speech - the freedom of speech of members of parliament to speak freely rather than be at threat of... the threat of an over powerful monarch at the time.

Freedom is not a gift nor does it simply exist for us to have but rather it is a sacred duty and its blessed yield of hope is born from none other than the blood of the innocent.

Economic growth may one day turn out to be a curse rather than a good and under no conditions can it either lead into freedom or constitute a proof for its existence.

A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom when it comes not merely philosophically but almost with pleasure.

To say that any people are not fit for freedom is to make poverty their choice and to say they had rather be loaded with taxes than not.

I am interested in anything about revolt disorder chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.

It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.

I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It's a strange truth but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It's not something that happens overnight. It's an evolution of the heart.
