I wanted the world to know that my country Ethiopia has always won with determination and heroism.

The rain is plentious but, by God's decree, Only a third is meant for you and me; Two-thirds are taken by the growing things Or vanish Heavenward on vapour's wings: Nor does it mathematically fall With social equity on one and all.

The joy of all mysteries is the certainty which comes from their contemplation, that there are many doors yet for the soul to open on her upward and inward way.

The getting out of doors is the greatest part of the journey.

Keep focused on the substantive issues. To make a decision means having to go through one door and closing all others.
