“He that can have patience can have what he will.”

Fish and visitors smell in three days.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

The only thing that is more expensive than education is ignorance.

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.

It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.

Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.

We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing!

Lost Time is never found again.

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is Freedom, in water there is bacteria.

A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn’t know how to read.

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.

I will keep on hurdling and keep on hustling.

People who know me know that if I say I’m going to do something, I’m doing it. I am hungry. I am determined.

Freedom. I will not give you up.

I was raised well. My parents are from Nigeria; their culture is respectful. Very respectful. But I learnt that you have to be determined. It’s not violence or aggression. It’s sheer determination.

A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

It is the way we react to circumstances that determines our feelings.

I’m working hard with more determination than ever. My success at the Salon led to my selling several paintings and since your absence I have made 800 francs; I hope, when I have contracts with more dealers, it will be better still.
