Adversity cleanses the lethargies of man

It is our duty to give support to the brother leader ... especially in regards to the sanctions which are not hitting just him, they are hitting the ordinary masses of the people ... our African brothers and sisters.

I've found that South Africa has produced good leaders. These are people who realize that when there is danger, they should be in the forefront and when there is victory to be celebrated, they should be in the background, allowing their colleagues and the ordinary civilians - the man in the street - to rejoice and to celebrate that victory.

People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that's how they'll react. But if you say, 'We want peace, we want stability,' we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.

Children are the most important asset in a country. For them to become that asset, they must receive education and love from their parents.

The greatest single challenge facing our globalised world is to combat and eradicate its disparities.

MY greatest regret in life is that I never became the heavyweight boxing champion ofthe world.
