“While Europe has the technological innovation that Africa lacks. Together we can become a power which can count in the future.”

We will win the battle for Africa, which is in effect a battle for Humanity.

We therefore must keep the faith, despite the defeat of policies, because men pass with their policies whilst generations follow each other.

I support the state, but not the state-run economy. The state should intervene only to create the conditions necessary for the private sector to thrive.

Europe is not one of the major powers. And Africa even less so of course. But Africa has what Europe lacks: space, human resources, and natural resources

Education for all seems to be the product of a type of distributive justice that is in no way related to the individual.

I slide my arm from under the sleeper’s head and it is numb, full of swarming pins, on the tip of each, waiting to be counted, the fallen angels sit.

Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our death–what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless whois cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.

Votes should be weighed not counted.

Every time I’ve failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.

I’ve said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.

Unlike any other nation, here the people rule, and their will is the supreme law. It is sometimes sneeringly said by those who do not like free government, that here we count heads. True, heads are counted, but brains also.
