"Life is a continuous struggle."

"My greatest strength is my ability to connect with the people."

"If I died a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying."

"Martyrdom does not end a struggle, it begins it."

"I have often wondered whether it is right to be so deeply involved in politics, for it leaves little time for other things."
