and then

«Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies.»
«I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.»
«Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.»
«In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.»
«Some say that the universe is made so that when we are about to understand it, it changes into something even more incomprehensible. And then there are those who say that this has already happened.»
«Old ways will always remain unless some one invents a new way and then lives and dies for it»
«Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood»
«Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates»
