“Quarrels end, but words once spoken never die”

"A fool may chance to put something into a wise man's head"

"Do not call to a dog with a whip in your hand."

"Send a boy where he wants to go and you see his best pace"

"The lion does not turn around when a small dog barks."

"We start as fools and become wise through experience"

The Truth
“When the white missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said,'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”

Bishop Desmond Tutu

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

Bishop Desmond Tutu
