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

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

You know, you can only lead them from behind.

If we do not do something to prevent it, Africa's animals, and the places in which they live, will be lost to our world, and her children, forever. Before it is too late, we need your help to lay the foundation that will preserve this precious legacy long after we are gone.

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.

I approach every problem with optimism.

Lead from the front - but don t leave your base behind.
