QUOTATIONS OF MARTIN LUTHER KING

Born 15th January 1929 and died on 4th 1968

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically intelligence plus
character that is the goal of true education

Life is most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend

Faith is taking the first step even when you do not see the whole stair case

We are not makers of history. We are made by history

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is to great a burden to bear

I refuse to accept the wishes that mankind is so strategically bound to the starless midnight of
racism and war brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and un
conditional love will have the final world

Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can
do that

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable every step toward the goal of justice requires
sacrifice, suffering and struggle, the tireless exertions and passionate concern of the dedicated
individuals

In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but silence of our friends

We must build likes of courage to hold back the flood of fear

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged
by the colour of their skin. But the content of their character

QUOTATIONS OF NELSON MANDELA

Born 18th July 1918 and died on 5th December 2013

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest

Lead from the back and let others believe they are in front

Live life as through nobody is watching and express yourself as though everyone is listening

Our task is not to liberate the oppressed but to liberate the oppressors

Let us give publicity to HIV/AIDs and not hide it because that is the way to make it appear like a
normal illness

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and
passionate about what they do

Resent meant is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies

It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it

If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his
language, that goes to his heart

QUOTATIONS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR

English by nationality, Dramatic by type, born 23rd April 1564 and died 23rd April 1616

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

A fool thinks himself to be wise but a wise man knows himself to be a fool

Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them

All the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players, they have their exits and their
own entrances and one man in his time plays his parts, his acts being seven ages

We know what we are but know not what we may be

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none

Love is a smoke made with the fume of signs

When a father gives to his son, both laugh: when a son gives to his father both cry

If music be the food of love, play on

Better three hours too soon than minute too late

QUOTATIONS OF PATRICE LUMUMBA

Once Congo President Born in1906 and Died in 1961

We know that Africa is neither French nor British nor Russian that is African. We know the objects
of the west. Yesterday they divided us on the level of the tribe, clan and village. They want to create
antagonistic blocs, satellites

A minimum of comfort is necessary for the practice of virtue

Without dignity, there is no liberty without justice, there is no dignity and without independence
there are no freemen

The day will come when history will speak. But it will not be the history which will be taught in
Brussels, Paris, Washington or the United Nations. Africa will write its own history of glory and
dignity

The only thing which we wanted for our country is the right to a worthy life to dignity without
pretence, to independence without restrictions. This was never the desire of the Belgian colonialists
and their western allies

The divisions which the colonial powers have always exploited the better to dominate us, have
played an important role and still playing that role in the suicide of Africa

African unity and solidarity are no longer dreams they must be expressed in decisions

No one is perfect in this imperfect world

Political independence has no meaning if it is not accompanied by rapid economic and social
development
QUOTATIONS OF KWAME NKURUMAH

Former president for life Born 21st September 1909 and died 27th April 1972. Ghanaian by nationality

Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. They claim it as their
own and none can keep it from them

Those who would judge us merely by the heights we have achieved would do well to remember the
depth from which we started

Revolutions are brought about by men. By men who think as men of action and act as men of
thought

I am not African because I was born in Africa but because African was born in me

We have awakened. We will not sleep anymore, Today from now on, there is a new African in the
world

Action without thought is empty. Thought without action is blind

It is better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else

All people of African descent, whether they live in North or South America, the Caribbean or in any
part of the world are Africans and belong to African nation

The independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked up with the total liberation of the
African continent

The forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than the super imposed influences that keep us
apart

Mahata Magandi was worn on 2nd October 1869 and died on 30th January 1984

An eye for an eye only under making the whole world blind

First they ignore you, then laugh at you, then fight you then you win

ocean does not become dirty

The weak can here forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live powers

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos,
both his own and the enemies

Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good
or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them

going back from when we come

To know is to know that you know nothing that is the meaning of true knowledge

Our prayers should be for blessings in general for God knows best what is good for us

Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior

The wisdom comes to each of us when we realise how little we understand about life ourselves and
the world around us

As marriage or celibary, let a man take which course he will be sure to repent

its the police and not me

Refugee problems can only be solved in the region of origin. May be a little help from the US they
need to deliver

sighted people who put their opinions in writing. They do not understand that the future of all
countries lies in processing
