When I walked out of prison, that was my mission, to liberate the oppressed and the oppressor both.

As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.

I have always regarded myself, in the first place, as an African patriot.

You know, you can only lead them from behind.

It is my greatest wish that the Children’s Fund should continue to be a beacon of hope and light.

Even behind prison walls I can see the heavy clouds and the blue sky over the horizon

A bright future beckons. The onus is on us, through hard work, honesty and integrity, to reach for the stars.
