I'm just very thankful. And I say that a lot because that's the most important message.

I learn more with every job, and I'm very thankful for where I am.

China has not established the rule of law and if there is a power above the law there is no social justice. Everybody can be subjected to harm. I'm just a citizen: my life is equal in value to any other. But I'm thankful that when I lost my freedom so many people shared feelings and put such touching effort into helping me.

I bless God for this retirement: I never was more thankful for any thing than I have been of late for the necessity I am under of self-denial in many respects.

I'm thankful that my memory is good because my vision is going.
