Life is a mighty joke that is not meant to be funny.

It is easier for an ambitious friend to become an enemy than for an enemy to become a friend. It is even easier to make friends than you can find people to trust as friends.

Human ties are the greatest distorters of reality because they tend to conceal man__ worst selfish instincts.

Sometimes transitional periods in life leave you feeling like a great big jumble of loose, split ends.

Investigation in our own life is far more rewarding than investigating life of other's.

Life is a desert of shifting sand dunes. Unpredictable. Erratic. Harmony changes into dissonance, the immediate outlives the profound, esoteric becomes cliched. And vice versa.

Always strive to get what you want, what you need, especially if your intentions are good and nobody gets hurt in the process.

The good shall prevail in the end, the truth shall be the rule and the Cameroonian soul shall be free,_ Hans said in an emotion-choked voice, __owever, we should never lose our heads; we should always be prepared to forgive all the repentant souls.

...political realism is the way forward for any system that is genuinely for humanity or for the interest and advancement of the people of this world.

Even with all its positive attributes, capitalism in its imperialistic form is the most treacherous system mankind ever devised. It is driven by a selfishness that has an almost religious underlining to it.

Most of our brains are out, but it is good what they did for themselves by leaving this country. They are Cameroon__ reserve for development, for the day that this country shall be free. Your late father was an intelligent man. He was even more than that. He was a sage. He once said to me that the intelligent Bamilekés are those who have sought a better future for themselves and for their families in British Cameroons. He was right. They have not been brainwashed as much as their francophone brothers have. If he were alive today, I am sure he would have judged that the intelligent Cameroonians are those who have sought refuge out of Cameroon.

The vicissitude of life teaches us about our limitations in a world with no guarantees and permanence.

Sons, any man who is considered a success in life owes a lot to society. We have been very blessed, my dear sons. We have to show our appreciation to our society for making that possible. A time will come when you will meet other Kamerunians who share the same vision for this land. I am advising you to make them partners in our common goals when that time comes. We shouldn__ shy away from playing a formidable role in financing that political force that shall emerge. We must use our influence to ensure that it succeeds.

My grandma, Mrs Grace Ayorkor Acquah, said, "Money matters is only a matter of fancy.

Men have the blood of their fathers and the passions of their mothers, in the same sense that women have the blood of their mothers and the passions of their fathers. We often find ourselves trapped in life when we fail to balance the two. The most unusual of men are those who are haunted by the warped blood of their fathers and the untamed passions of their mothers. They become either the legends of the legends that mankind remembers for generations or they end up as the fools of their time,

The Cameroonian soul is genuine. It is noble, and it embodies humanism.

Our love for our country is worth nothing if it deprives us of our sense of humanity, if it destroys positive consensus.

You might pass by those who're stuck in the neck bottle while you are swiming in your whiskey, be kind !
