I used to be afraid of things like strokes, but I've now discovered that the fear of the stroke is worse than the stroke itself.

The person who says, 'I'm enlightened' probably isn't.

There is a message to the community that a non-governmental process is underway to bring about social change, it's a public one, and people like Margaret Thatcher, George Bush, and Mikhail Gorbachev are throwing their weight behind it.
