Quote by Matshona Dhliwayo

“When Africa suffers the Middle East suffers, when the Middle East suffers Asia suffers, when Asia suffers Europe suffers, when Europe suffers America suffers, and when America suffers the world suffers. What you learn from black people you won’t learn from white people. What you learn from white people you won’t learn from black people. What you learn from one people you won’t learn from another people. What you learn from an enlightened people teach to all people.”

Nor can you be a master until you are a scholar, a guru until you are a learner, a leader until you are a follower, a warrior until you are a fighter, a general until you are a soldier, a pope until you are a worshiper, a doctor until you are a healer, and an apostle until you are a believer.”
