[I] read Anne Frank's diary [while imprisoned] on Robben Island and derived much encouragement from it.

Like all Xhosa children, I acquired knowledge mainly through observation. We were meant to learn through imitation and emulation, not through questions. When I first visited the homes of whites, I was often dumbfounded by the number and nature of questions that children asked of their parents-and their parents' unfailing willingness to answer them. In my household, questions were considered a nuisance; adults imparted information as they considered necessary.

The path of those who preach love, and not hatred, is not easy. They often have to wear a crown of thorns.

I admire young people who are concerned with the affairs of their community and nation perhaps because I also became involved in struggle whist I was still at school.

It always seems impossible until its done.

I commend #AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the #future #business #leadership of our countries.

You see, when there is danger, a good leader takes the front line. But when there is celebration, a good leader stays in the back room. If you want the cooperation of human beings around you, make them feel that they are important. And you do that by being humble.
