Some of the contrasts I have observed have convinced me that by no means do all the advantages and hopes for the future lie with the wealthier developed nations of the world.

What we really need, of course, is a personalised, pocket-computer to answer examination papers, not just to mark them!

To move forward quickly, it is therefore, essential that Africa should take advantage of the new inventions which are transforming almost every field of human activity.

A continent (Africa) which in sheer size equals the United States, Western Europe, China and India put together is awakening from the slumber of centuries.

What the shape of this world will be, even the most sophisticated African has, as yet, only the haziest idea. But certainly it will be a world where the old indignities can be forgotten and the dead weight of poverty, hunger and ignorance can be lifted.

Human nature does not alter very much, and nor do human needs, however strongly the winds of change may blow. The same is true of nations. The search is always for a workable ideology and rising standards of living.

A university is such a complex institution that it must be fully planned and conceived in every detail before its construction begins.

By the way you conduct your daily lives, by the compassion you show to your fellow men and women, and above all by your faith in God, you will ultimately be judged.

It does not matter whether you are wealthy or poor, whether you are in business or the professions, whether you work with hands or brain, your spiritual obligations are equal.
