Some wisdom you must learn from one who's wise.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Better a serpent than a stepmother!

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.

Silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine praise, and to remain quiet within the house.

We are limited only by our imagination and our will to act.

Not knowing stuff - like how your story ends before you start writing - is the seed of a lot of writer’s block.

Every fall happens in a slow fade.

One day, of course, no one will remember what I remember.

For African societies, no issue looms larger than employment. Only vibrant entrepreneurship and thriving small businesses can hope to provide the millions of jobs that are needed.

A thankful man owes a courtesy ever; the unthankful but when he needs it.

I believe that we all have the potential to love any human being, and that just love who you wish and celebrate it the best you can.

Shouldering your loneliness like a gun that you will not learn to aim, you stumble into this movie house then you climb, you climb into the frame.

Motivation is a battle for the heart, not just an appeal to the mind. Passion is always an expression of the soul.

The challenge is to develop visions, strategies, design and innovation, not just for surviving but for thriving in this new globalising society.
