“Sadness, though, is probably the hardest thing of all to hide because sorrow has a way of seeping out however well people think they’re containing it. You only have to look to see the signs, but most people don’t, which is why so many seem to end up feeling lonely.”

“Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.”
