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

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

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 am counting on the private sector, because it is crucial to Senegal’s future.

From a very early age, of having access to toys which structure his mind, which constitute a sure advantage over the little African child who has never even held a modern toy.

Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point.

The teacher that I was for decades, and that I still am in a certain way, wondered what was meant by the word education.

A small child from a developing country has the advantage

You never know how long Federer is going to play, but in my opinion he has at least one or two more grand slams to win. It depends how long he stays motivated. For me, he is the greatest player to ever play the game.

Barack Obama seemed to think he could win over his enemies. He certainly seemed to believe too much in his own powers of persuasion. One thing’s for sure – he misunderstood the nature of his adversaries.

It’s a lot more fun winning. It hurts to lose…

I know it’s not a one man team win or lose.

Nobody ever wins the National Open. Somebody loses it.

Never change a winning game; always change a losing one.

I think the only thing that matters is you win as a team and you lose as a team. And so the team needs to understand that no one player is bigger than any other player.

Winning is irrelevant when you’re 11 or 12 years old. It really is it. At youth tournaments, I look at the technical ability of the players. Whether the team wins or loses – I don’t care.
