Favourite Quotations

A witty saying proves nothing.
Voltaire

Edmund Burke

Maya Angelou

Anne Frank

Patriotism is to support your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain

Always show the you in you that makes you the you that you are.
Chidinma Obietikponah

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
Marian Wright Edelman

If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
Woodrow Wilson
