The more they leave us in the lurch, the better. We have to rely on ourselves. We have to go back to the 15th century, when we stopped to be responsible for our fate.
(President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda)
Our destiny is largely in our own hands. If we find, we shall have to seek. If we succeed in the race of life it must be by our own energies and our own exertions. Others may clear the road but we must go forward, or be left behind in the race of life. If we remain poor and dependent, the riches of other men will not avail us. If we are ignorant, the intelligence of other men will do but little for us. If we are foolish, the wisdom of other men will not guide us. If we are wasteful of time and money, the economy of other men will only make our destitution the more disgraceful and hurtful.
(Frederick Douglas)
