I do not hold the key to our liberation. I do not know the solutions to our many problems.

A quote for a son

I have tried my best during my years of public service to keep that name untarnished and respected, unmarked by sorry compromises for expediency. I now pass it on to you, as good, I pray, as when my father, your grandfather, passed it on to me.

The faith in God

I return from exile and to an uncertain future with only determination and faith to offer — faith in our people and faith in God.
