I can't help it if the ladies take note of me; I am not going to protest.

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

Peace is the greatest weapon for development that any person can have.

In all disputes, a point is arrived at where no party, no matter how right or wrong it might have been at the start of that dispute, will any longer be totally in the right or totally in the wrong. Such a point I believe, has been reached in this debate... Let us not equivocate. A tragedy of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in Africa.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.

During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
