“It doesn't matter how motivated students are; what matters is how students are motivated”

“It doesn't matter how much you think and wish, doing is what matters.”

“We are motivated by what makes our hearts feel lighter, no matter what is happening.”

“It doesn't matter how anything happens.”

“Such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go. But how many have to die on the battlefield in these days, how many young, promising lives… What does my death matter if by our acts thousands are warned and alerted. Among the student body there will certainly be a revolt.”

“What is the matter with universities is that the students are school children, whereas it is of the very essence of university education that they should be adults.”

“It doesn't matter how many times you say it. It'll still be true.'
'And it doesn't matter what you won't let me say, that'll still be true too.”

“A true student is like a sponge. Absorbing what goes on around him, filtering it, latching on to what he can hold. A student is self-critical and self-motivated, always trying to improve his understanding so that he can move on to the next topic, the next challenge. A real student is also his own teacher and his own critic. There is no room for ego there.”

“In the end that was the choice you made, and it doesn't matter how hard it was to make it. It matters that you did.”

“But the truth of the matter is, to live a good life, as a good person, it doesn't matter how you got there. It just matters that you do.”
