“To make plans and not make good use of them is like “betraying your success helpmate” after getting to know him. Make plans, get prepared, but let the work be done!”

“You think if someone does a brave deed quite suddenly, then he or she could never do a mean one? You are wrong. We all have good and bad in us, and we have to strive all the time to make the good cancel out the bad. We can never be perfect - we all of us do mean or wrong things at times - but we can at least make amends by trying to cancel out the wrong by doing something worthy later on.”

“Mungu ni mtakatifu na kwa maana hiyo hatendi dhambi. Hivyo, hauwi wala hatesi. Tunajiua na kujitesa wenyewe. Ametupa hiari ya kuchagua mema au mabaya. Lakini anamtumia Shetani kama wakala wake wa kutoa adhabu kwa binadamu pale tunapoenenda sawasawa na machukizo yake. Damu ina nguvu kuliko Shetani na ina nguvu kuliko kuzimu. Unapojifunika kwa damu ya Mwanakondoo, Shetani hataweza kukuona. Hivyo, hataweza kukudhuru. Lakini usipojifunika kwa damu ya Mwanakondoo, Shetani atakuona. Hivyo, atakudhuru. Atakudhuru kwa sababu Mungu atakuwa ameruhusu akudhuru, kwa sababu ya uhuru wa kuchagua mema au mabaya aliotupatia, ijapokuwa ana uwezo wa kuzuia asikudhuru. Kwa mtindo huo Mungu anakuwa ametoa adhabu kwa binadamu.”

“This one phrase, "It is my life, I will do what I want," has done more damage than good. People choose to ignore the spirit and derive the meaning that is convenient to them. Such people have tied this phrase to selfishness and I'm sure that was not the intent. These people forget that we don't live in isolation. What you do affects me and what I do affects you. We are connected. We have to realize that we are sharing this planet and we must learn to behave responsibly. There are two kinds of people in this world--takers and givers. Takers eat well and givers sleep well. Givers have high self-esteem, a positive attitude, and they serve society. By serving society, I do not mean a run-of-the-mill pseudo leader-turned- politician who serves himself by pretending to serve others. As human beings, we all have the need to receive and take. But a healthy personality with high self-esteem is one that not only has its need to take but also to give.”
