• If you are an adult, you are responsible for your life and well-being. No one owes you the fulfillment of your needs or wants; no one is here on earth to serve you.

Only on this understanding can there be peace on earth and good will among human beings.

The comrades must be helped to preserve the style of plain living and hard struggle.

Our difficulties can be overcome because we are new and rising forces and have a bright future.
