Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

An economically peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka is the dream of youth of the nation. My message for the youth is to collectively work for an inclusively developed Sri Lanka.

Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.
