QUOTES

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

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

A small child from a developing country has the advantage, 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.

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