To get out of the rut is not one day's job or one hour in a day or going to temples, churches or mosques on particular days. We have to reflect on all our thoughts all the time and turn the outgoing mind inward in every second of life.

We make progress in society only if we stop cursing and complaining about its shortcomings and have the courage to do something about them.

We imagine that when we are thrown out of our usual ruts all is lost, but it is only then that what is new and good begins. While there is life there is happiness. There is much, much before us.

It is important that we continue to strengthen our economic and political progress. We can achieve this only if we can make an effort to face our past to allow relief and dignity for those who have experienced violations and to ensure that that pain is acknowledged. The root cause to our experience must also be effectively dealt with. This will involve all of us right across our society.

Let go of the past. We must only begin.

We must break free from the petty politics of the past.

Get out of that comfortable rut.

Only by not forgetting the past can we be the master of the future.

[W]e can have progress together, but we have to acknowledge the wrongs of the past and we have to work hard to make things better together.

If you could not accept the past and its burden, there was no future, for without one there cannot be the other, and [...] if you could accept the past you might hope for the future, for only out of the past can you make the future.

The faults of history cannot be undone, but if we confront them we can begin to learn, change the present, and create a better future. Discussion is a good place to start, but talking can never be enough.

I would like to make the point that we cannot undo the past but we can learn from it, and we cannot predict the future but we can shape and build it.

We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.

I would say that we must learn to overcome historical resentment. History has a weight in each of us and in social life, it cannot be denied, but we cannot be slaves of this history by repeating the same mistakes and clashes. We must put the common good above all.
