We may borrow… from foreign ideologies, but we reject the wholesale importation of foreign ideologies into Africa.

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself - so always think positively.

Think positively about yourself.... ask God who made you to keep on remaking you.

Change yourself and your work will seem different.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.

If you want a quality, act as if you already have it. If you want to be courageous, act as if you were - and as you act and persevere in acting, so you tend to become.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate.

Do not be awe struck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can.

How do I change? If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labor. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of my emotions.

I cannot be someone other than I am. How awful.
