For me, survival is the ability to cope with difficulties, with circumstances, and to overcome them.

The whole purpose of a husband and wife is that when hard times knock at the door you should be able to embrace each other.

The people are their own liberators.

I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

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 happen to dig being able to use whatever mystique I have to further the idea of peace.

We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.

Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
