I'm not good at pretending. I'm not good at lying. I'm not good at being something I'm not.

I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.

幸福不是在外面等着我们去寻找。它不在外面的原因是因为它在我们的内心。

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.
