I'm going to kill them all

When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.

Never lose faith in yourself, and never lose hope; remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back, there is still always hope.

That’s the worst way to miss somebody. When they’re right beside you and you miss them anyway.

Each one an antidote to the one that went before. Each one a reaction, an about-face, a rebound.

I have been disappointed many times, but never defeated.

There are two things that have always haunted me: the brutality of the European traders and the stories I've heard about Africans selling other Africans into slavery.

I submit that scientists have not yet explored the hidden possibilities of the innumerable seeds, leaves and fruits for giving the fullest possible nutrition to mankind.

We're strong; We're very dedicated to what we do; We believe in ourselves; We go for what we want in life; We've made a mark in this world for ourselves.
