We have awakened. We will not sleep anymore. Today, from now on, there is a new African in the world!

I am not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me.

A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.

Africa is one continent, one people and one nation

The fortunes of the African revolution are closely linked with the world-wide struggle against imperialism. It does not matter where the battle erupts, be it in Africa, Asia or Latin America, the master-mind and master-hand at work are the same. The oppressed and exploited people are striving for their freedom against exploitation and suppression. Ghana must not, Ghana cannot be neutral in the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor.

Those who would judge us merely by the heights we have achieved would do well to remember the depths from which we started.

Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.
