We should never forget those on whose shoulders we stand and those who paid the supreme price for freedom.

An educated, enlightened & informed population is one of the surest ways of promoting the health of a democracy

When we can sit in the face of insanity or dislikes and be free from the need to make it different, then we are free.

Honour belongs to those who never forsake the truth even when things seem dark and grim, who try over and over again, who are never discouraged by insults, humiliation and even defeat.

There is no such thing as part freedom.

If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.

i love playing and chatting with children...feeding and putting them to bed with a little story, and being away from the family has troubled me throughout my...life. i like relaxing at the house, reading quietly, taking in the sweet smell that comes from the pots, sitting around a table with the family and taking out my wife and children. when you can no longer enjoy these simple pleasures something valuable is taken away from your life and you feel it in your daily work.
