“We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future.”

“Teach the children that Africans are not one iota inferior to Europeans.”

“Education without courage is like a wax statue - beautiful to look at but bound to melt at the first touch of a hot stuff.”

“I think you can improve on that natural ability with training and exposure to great leaders of the past and to management theories.”

“My best training came from my father.”

“Nobody gets muscles by watching ME lift weights.”
