The Liberty Bell is "a very significant symbol for the entire democratic world."

I cannot overemphasise the value we place on a free, independent and outspoken press

It is not our diversity which divides us; it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.

Political division, based on color, is entirely artificial; and when it disappears, so will the domination of one color group by another.

We know what needs to be done - all that is missing is the will to do it.

Some of the mission groups that have been responsible for our education have not been part of the government. In fact, they acted contrary to what the government had planned to do.

I learned that to humiliate another person is to make him suffer an unnecessarily cruel fate. Even as a boy, I defeated my opponents without dishonoring them.
