The light of the proverb

 The light of the writer and the dramatist who, by the power of the pen, armed solely with courage and his faith in mankind and truth, has nurtured the hopes of the oppressed who were denied democracy,

 If the mind is to emerge unscathed from this relentless struggle with the unforeseen, two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to the truth; and second, the courage to follow this light wherever it may lead.
  Karl von Clausewitz

 Together, we can bring faith in the life of many children whose only mistake was to be deaf;
Bring the faith that comes by education with its tremendous power to transform and that form the basis of freedom, democracy and sustainable development.

 Water is one of the basic needs of survival of mankind and water can destroy it, too. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. That is the power of NATURE. But there is an even more powerful dimension of NATURE which is a blessing to humans; courage, intelligence, compassion and the power to stand again.

 The good writer, the great writer, has what I have called the three S's: the power to see, to sense, and to say. That is, he is perceptive, he is feeling, and he has the power to express in language what he observes and reacts to.
  Lawrence Clark Powell

 The dissident does not operate in the realm of genuine power at all. He is not seeking power. He has no desire for office and does not gather votes. He does not attempt to charm the public, he offers nothing and promises nothing. He can offer, if anything, only his own skin -- and he offers it solely because he has no other way of affirming the truth he stands for. His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost.

 To expect that the intricacies of science will be pierced by a careless glance, or the eminences of fame ascended without labor, is to expect a peculiar privilege, a power denied to the rest of mankind; but to suppose that the maze is inscrutable to
  Samuel Johnson

 To save the world requires faith and courage: faith in reason, and courage to proclaim what reason shows to be true
  Bertrand Russell

 It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 Democracy should be nurtured and sustained in Nigeria and in our part of the world

 Public confidence in the integrity of the Government is indispensable to faith in democracy; and when we lose faith in the system, we have lost faith in everything we fight and spend for
  Adlai E. Stevenson

 The cigarette makers have also realized since 1953 that the truth represents a mortal threat to their business, ... At every turn, they denied that smoking causes disease and denied that it is addictive.
