It is not beyond our power to create a world in which all children have access to a good education.

I approach every problem with optimism.

I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.

No matter what the past has dealt you, don't let it destroy your future.

There are many people who have worked just because they love the community in which they are in, without expecting any financial consideration.

I could not imagine that the future I was walking toward could compare in any way to the past that I was leaving behind.

I can't pretend that I'm brave and that I can beat the whole world.
