"When the minds of men slip from realities to fantasies without thinking of the future consequences, then we must ponder. When the hearts of men are entangled with what though might seem great but yet, specious ambitions without pondering over the resulting footprints, then we ought to take precautions. When the hands of men unwittingly and for the sake of self-gratification find the right weapons and dexterity for the wrong purpose, then massacre and cruelties leave indelible footprints of sorrow and bitterness in the hearts of men. We shall always look back to the footprints of yesterday to say had we know if we don't take a critical look at today's footsteps. There is always an alternative that is better than good."

It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched."
"One sees great things from the valley only small things from the peak."
"There are always certain things which are certain and certain things which are uncertain for us to think about each day and when such are over, there shall always be something to think about."
