“Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.”

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

People cannot be developed; they can only develop themselves.

The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

I have never been over-concerned or obsessed with opinion polls or popularity polls. I am not a populist.

Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him.

Dream is not that which you see while sleeping; it is something that does not let you sleep.
