Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I call on the international community to be fair to the Iraqi people. My position is that we respect international resolutions but in return demand justice and accountability for those who stole Iraq's money.
