QUOTES

Every dictator uses religion as a prop to keep himself in power.

Leadership is a commitment to an idea, a dream and to a vision of what can be.

Leadership is to do what is right by educating and inspiring an electorate, empathizing with the moods, needs, wants and aspirations of humanity.

Purusing peace means rising above one's own wants, needs, and emotions.

Democracy is necessary to peace and to undermining the forces of terrorism.

"You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea."

Democracy needs support and the best support for democracy comes from other democracies. Democratic nations should come together in an association designed to help each other and promote what is a universal value -- democracy.
