Oh, the most important thing about myself is that my life has been full of changes. Therefore, when I observe the world, I don't expect to see it just like I was seeing the fellow who lives in the next room.

An old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned in a proverb

The lizard that jumped from a high Iroko tree to the ground said he would praise himself if no-one else did.

Let the kite perch and let the eagle perch too – If one says no to the other, let his wing break.

There is that great proverb — that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.

I do not think that there is any time in our history when things were perfect. I do not expect such times in the near future either. But I think every generation has to examine what needs to be done, what belongs to its peace and proceed. And so what needs to be done will change with time depending on the conditions, whatever the conditions happen to be. And they will not be the same for generation after generation.

I prefer to go on trying all kinds of things, not to be told, This is the way it is done.
