&ldquo;If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Life is like a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &ldquo;A true leader always keeps an element of surprise up his sleeve, which others cannot grasp but which keeps his public excited and breathless.&rdquo;
