And where justice is honored and preserved, there will always be truth. Eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, and nationality. We are all equals with a common pulse to survive. Every human requires food and water. Every human has a dream and desire to be happy. Every human responds to love, suffering and pain. Every human bleeds the same color and occupies the same world. Let us recognize that we are all part of each other. We are all human. We are all one.”

“There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to prepare.”

“The truth brings no man a fortune.”

“I am powerful in my love for myself. The truth of my being is I love myself exactly as I am. I honor my empowered heart.”
