Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

• Without courage you cannot practice any of the other virtues.
• For Africa to me is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.
• There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
• How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
• If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else you will have succeeded.
• We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
• I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.
• The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.
• You may encounter defeats, but you must not be defeated.
• History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
