“Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for
other cultures.”
“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community...Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.”
“We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure.”
