Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.
