"The struggle for freedom is a continuous struggle."

"Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. They claim it as their own and none can keep it from them."

"The multi-party system is divisive and a newly independent state needs the energy and enthusiasm of all the people to move forward."

"The greatest victory is that which requires no battle."

"We have awakened. We will not sleep anymore. Today, from now on, there is a new Africa. Ours is a struggle for a continent and its people, who have been humiliated and degraded for centuries."
