“It's the way we are - our people show their respect to their leaders by keeping quiet. It is considered rude to speak your mind.”

“It's the moments when we take risks that show the courage we have in speaking our minds.”

“I don't think our show's actually rude.”

“Keep using your brain, work for free, and soon your mind will show you ways of making money far beyond what I could ever pay you.”

“I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.”

“I ignore polling as a method of government. I think that shows a certain weakness of mind - an inability to chart a course whichever way the wind blows, whichever way the media encourages the people to go, you follow. If you can't force or are unwilling to force your people to follow you, with or without threats, you are not a leader.”

“We who live in quiet places have the opportunity to become acquainted with ourselves, to think our own thoughts and live our own lives in a way that is not possible for those keeping up with the crowd.”

“If your appearance is all people see, they have no respect for your mind.”

“If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us…”

“We should not go to the people and say, "Here we are. We come to give you the charity of our presence, to teach you our science, to show you your errors, your lack of culture, your ignorance of elementary things." We should go instead with an inquiring mind and a humble spirit to learn at that great source of wisdom that is the people.”
