The surest way of finding peace of mind is that which helps the greatest number of others to find it
As for us, during twenty years' reign, we have known much bitterness.
I would prefer to be a citizen of an independent country rather than Emperor of an enslaved one.
I do not wish a foreign army to spill the blood of my people.
The time has come to put an end to the fratricidal war and to recover at last peace and accord.
Henceforth, we shall be happy to be a free citizen in an independent country.
If your government had given me a thousandth of the sum it spent to depose me, I could have won that war.
I don't feel that Shaunae Miller cheated me because she didn't break any rules or anything like that, but I do feel like it's a very difficult way to lose. Having worked so hard and I know that that was such a close race, it just kind of made it even harder to deal with defeat just because of how it was done. But I don't think that she had any ill intention by it or did it on purpose. I think it just kind of happened.
When you cannot hold the body still, you cannot hold the brain still. If you do not know the silence of the body, you cannot understand the silence of the mind. Action and silence have to go together. If there is action, there must also be silence. If there is silence, there can be conscious action and not just motion.
A life of complete leisure is the hardest work of all.
I prefer being totally sober myself.
