Humility is the armour that you clothe yourself with throughout your life. We demean each other rather than lift up ourselves.

In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up.

Do not let where you come from define you, but never forget the values you learned from your close community.

Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.

It is indeed fitting for me to make a comment to the effect that it takes a village to raise a child because I have lived in many villages down in deep south, and everyone there who played a part in my stewardship as a young man growing up and as a professional, they have given me unstinting support.

Respect all manner of men regardless of their station in life. Compassion is one of the greatest virtues.
