“Kuna tetesi kuwa Julius Nyerere alipewa tuzo ya MBE na malkia wa Uingereza akiwa rais wa Tanzania! Lakini aliikataa! Kwa nini? Kwa sababu angeonekana Mwingereza zaidi kuliko Mtanzania! Januari 26, 1996 akapewa Tuzo ya Kimataifa ya Amani ya Mahatma Gandhi ya mwaka 1995, ya kwanza kabisa, iliyotolewa na Serikali ya India. Lakini hiyo pia akaikataa! Kwa sababu Mahatma Gandhi alimwaga damu katika harakati zake za kuwang'oa wakoloni barani Afrika! Kama ni kweli, hakuna kujitolea kuliko huko.”

“Light-touch government works more efficiently in the presence of social capital. Police close more cases when citizens monitor neighborhood comings and goings. Child welfare departments do a better job of “family preservation” when neighbors and relatives provide social support to troubled parents. Public schools teach better when parents volunteer in classrooms and ensure that kids do their homework. When community involvement is lacking, the burdens on government employees—bureaucrats, social workers, teachers, and so forth—are that much greater and success that much more elusive.”
