We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God.

We in Africa wonder: Can the world outside see the human beings -- or the potential partners -- behind the unrelenting despair?

You must show the world that you abhor fighting.

Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
