If we are to accomplish anything in this world, it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievements of others.

You encourage people by seeing the good in them.

One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.

The private sector granted bursaries [scholarships] for the children of their workers. Some of them built homes for their workers. They had in-service training, which improved the skills of their workers. So that spirit was there. All we did was merely exploit it.

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

One of the things that made me long to be back in prison was that I had so little opportunity for reading, thinking and quiet reflection after my release. I intend, amongst other things, to give myself much more opportunity for such reading and reflection.

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