“Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great, you can be that generation”

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

“As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.”

“Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?”

“No single person can liberate a country. You can only liberate a country if you act as a collective.”

“I am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope.”

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
