In fairness, I don't think that everyone understands what I say, but I think they understand part of it and part of what the issues are... Just the same way that people like a good painting, I think people really like understanding, knowing about the world.

I believe that the best way to help people understand the world is to provide them with opportunities to actively explore, experiment, and express themselves.

In the long run, it is better to understand the way the world really is rather than how we would like it to be.

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

The more places I go to, the more I realize I understand so little about the world.

Without understanding yourself, what is the use of trying to understand the world?

In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.

You don't need the world to understand you. It's fine. Some people will never really understand things they haven't experienced. Some will. Be grateful.

We also learn that this country and the Western world have no monopoly of goodness and truth and scholarship, we begin to appreciate the ingredients that are indispensable to making a better world. In a life of learning that is, perhaps, the greatest lesson of all.
