“Don't despair too much if you see beautiful things destroyed, if you see them perish. Because the best things are always growing in secret.”
By: Ben Okri (Nigerian author who uses magic realism to convey the social and political chaos in his country, 1959)

“As a leader... I have always endeavored to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion. Oftentimes, my own opinion will simply represent a con-sensus of what I heard in the discussion. I always remember the axiom: a leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”
~ Nelson Mandela
