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

I am aware of what the position is in the United States of America. If somebody gives to charity, then he gets a tax incentive, provided the charity is registered in terms of the law.

No power on this earth can destroy the thirst for human dignity

I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.

I am influenced more than ever before by the conviction that social equality is the only basis of human happiness.

In human affairs, no single person, organisation or social formation ever has a final or an absolutely correct position. It is through conversation, debate and critical discussion that we approach positions that may provide workable solutions.

A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow mindedness.
