Kwame Nkrumah

"Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them."

"The best way of learning to be an independent sovereign state is to be an independent sovereign state."

"A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace."
