Quote by Matshona Dhliwayo

“At conception I had the soul of an Egyptian, at birth I had the soul of an Ethiopian, at death I had the soul of an African, and at resurrection I had the soul of God. At conception, I was a citizen of creation. At labor, I was a citizen of the world. At delivery, I was a citizen of the universe, and at death, I became a citizen of Heaven.”

“When you die, no matter who you are, you may be remembered for your courage or despised for your cowardice, you may be remembered for your gratitude or despised for your bitterness, you may be remembered for your benevolence or despised for your meanness, you may be remembered for your modesty or despised for your arrogance, you may be remembered for your peace or despised for your violence, you may be remembered for your compassion or despised for your ruthlessness, you may be remembered for your mercy or despised for your vengeance, you may be remembered for your love or despised for your unkindness, you may be remembered for your strengths or despised for your weaknesses, you may be remembered for your virtues or despised for your unrighteousness, you may be remembered for your knowledge or despised for your ignorance, you may be remembered for your wisdom or despised for your foolishness, and you may be remembered for your accomplishments or despised for your incompetence. When I die, I want to be remembered for my smile, not my tears; for my laughter, not my pain; for my joy, not my grief; for my patience, not my anger; for my friends, not my enemies; for my mind, not my riches; for my heart, not my titles; for my soul, not my achievements; for my triumphs, not my tragedies; for my character, not my reputation; for my dignity, not my impudence; for my sincerity, not my flattery; for my honor, not my fame; for my integrity, not my friends; and for my life, not my death.”
