God helps those who help themselves.

God hath given you one face and you make yourselves another.

God and Nature first made us what we are and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.

Plants that wake when others sleep. Timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.

It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose and the eyes will take care of themselves.

One of the matters that must be addressed is that Rwanda and Uganda have to leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We're also supporting processes to ensure that the political dialogue among the Congolese themselves takes place so that the people there can decide their future.

The goal of my Foundation is to give young people a chance to better themselves and establish a base for a successful future.

The vast possibilities of our great future will become realities only if we make ourselves responsible for that future.

There is an opportunity for us to renew ourselves. There's an opportunity for us to leave the past behind and present something different for the future.

True revolutionaries are like God - they create the world in their own image. Our awesome responsibility to ourselves to our children and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings.
