I believe that we have reached a stage in life in the economic development of Africa where moving forward is perilous, moving backwards is cowardice and standing still is suicidal but we must persevere because winners do not quit and quitter never win.

Patrick L.O. Lumumba
About This Quote

The economic development of Africa is very good. The continent is growing, but the civil war in Sudan, the disease in Somalia and the many other problems that are killing people are making the job especially hard. Losing hope is not a good thing at all, but it means that no progress can be made. The word "perseverance" means "persistent effort". It is very important for everyone to keep persevering to make this wonderful country great again.
