"He turns not back who is bound..." - Quote by Leonardo Da Vinci

“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.”

“The natural desire of good men is knowledge.”

“If you put on more garments, the cold cannot reach you. Similarly, increase your patience and concentration and even great injuries cannot vex your mind.”

“There is no sound more powerful than the marching feet of a determined people.”

“I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepperd. I am lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed.”

“Any danger spot is tenable if men, brave men, will make it so.”

“Those who are unswerving have resolve”

“My time in prison only deepened my resolve against apartheid. Even while I was in prison, I fought against it, teaching my cellmates about white supremacy and how to fight against it.”

“I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.”
