I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke that I was not happy.

The fact that I am interrupting serious work to answer these questions proves that I am so stupid that I should be penalized severely. I will be. Don't worry.

Listen now. When people talk listen completely. Don't be thinking what you're going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe.

Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai 'Ngaje Ngai', the House of God. Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

Imagination? It is the one thing beside honesty that a good writer must have. The more he learns from experience the more he can imagine.
