'မေကာင္းမွုကို မိမိႁပုလွ်င္မိမိသာပင္ဒုကၡခံရ၏။
မေကာင္းမွုကို မိမိေရွာင္လွ်င္ မိမိသည္စင္ၾကယ္၏။
မိမိကိုယ္တိုင္မွတစ္ပါး တျခားမည္သူမွ် ကၽြႏု္ပ္တို႔ကိုမကယ္ေပ။
ကယ္လည္း မကယ္ႏိုင္ေပ။
မိမိကိုယ္တိုင္လမ္းကိုေလွ်ာက္သြားရမည္။
ဗုဒၶကမူ လမ္းကို ညႊန္ျပရံုသာ ညႊန္ျပ၏။'

the message posted by Prof Eric

The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgement should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge. If a person masters the fundamentals of this subject and has learned to think and work independently, he will surely find his way and besides will better be able to adapt himself to progress and changes than the person whose training principally consists in the acquiring of detailed knowledge.

De Tocqueville's observation

Revolutions occur not when dictatorial regimes are at their most repressive but, rather, when they are seeking to reform themselves.

Government's job

The government's job is to govern rather than to run everything. Government may have to finance primary services such as health and education, but the providers of those services should be made accountable to citizens as though they were customers.

The best government

I heartily accept the motto," That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up rapidly and systematically.

The limit of Democracy

The Basic problem confronting the developing world today is not an absence of democracy but an absence of governance.
