Quotes

  • There has never lived a people worth writing about who have not shaped out a destiny for themselves, or carved out their own opportunity.
  • Who says he is equal with God?Man is to-day, to-morrow he is not,Iam is from eternity to eternity.
  • It had been felt for a long time by men of light and leading in Fanti-land that the salvation of the people depended upon education; that to educate the youths of the country properly depended upon trained teachers; and that it was the work of a university to provide such training ground.
  • No people could despise its own language, customs, and institutions and hope to avoid national death.
  • We worship that we do know.
  • I do know, that gods are wont to make use of human instruments in approaching men. The Infinite finds expression in the finite, and the ideal is realised in the actual.
