"Until one is committed, there is
hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative and creation there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.
That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one, that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision to commit, raising in one's
favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamt would ever have come his way"

"Human rights are lived from your conscience, not from your mind...from
your guts, not from your head"
"They who live in present time do not need structure in their lives
in the same way as they who live in the past or the future or as they who
live with fear, inhibitions and guilt."
"They who cannot confront the woes of their lives live not in control
of their destiny, but in response and in effect of the destiny and the vison
of others" 2005-08-17
"On our causes of justice and liberty, neither talent, genius or education
can replace persistence and determination"
"An inalienable human right is a right that is with you at all times,
it is a part of you and cannot be separated from you. It is a right that
cannot be granted to you by man or governments. Inalienable rights are intinsic
to your existence. Inalienable rights are bestowed by the creator of creation,
and cannot be granted by an earthly authority. Governments and courts cannot
give to you something that is already with you...".
"When you co-operate with an injustice, then a little bit of your spirit
dies."
"The answers to redress social injustices
and denial of human rights arise from you and not from statute law"
"They at UPMART who are living their
inalienable human rights in the face of challenges to those rights are demonstrating
courage of their convictions. It is people such as this that set the community
standards that are the foundations of a healthy community."
"An individual must have courage,
endurance and faith of their convicitions if they are to succeed in upholding
them, and having them accepted by the community"
