Quotes
- “It is not changing into the lion that is hard, it is getting the tail of a lion”
- “Kolanut last long in the mouths of them who value it.”
- “When the chameleon brings forth a child, is not that child expected to dance? As we have made you King, act as King.”
- “When the rain falls on the leopard, does it wash off its spots? Has the richness of kingly life washed off the love of our King for his people?”
- “My people. Children of our fathers. Sickness is like rain. Does the rain fall on one roof alone? No. Does it fall on one body and not on another? No. Whoever the rain sees, on him it rains. Does it not? It is the same with sickness.”
- “It is sickness that man can cure, not death”
