It is the duty of those who, under the blessings of Divine Providence, enjoy station, wealth, and education to assist those less fortunate than themselves."
-Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg
I have listened to your words but can find no reason why I should obey you-I would rather die first... I look for some reason why I should obey you and find not the smallest. If it should be friendship that you desire, then I am ready for it, today and always; but not to be your subject, that I cannot be. If it should be war you desire, then I am ready, but never to be your subject. I do not fall at your feet, for you are God's creature just as I am. I am sultan here in my land. You are sultan there in yours. Yet listen, I do not say to you that you should obey me; for I know that you are a free man. As for me, I will not come to you, and if you are strong enough, then come and fetch me. - Chief Macemba (to the Germans when they demanded Tanganyika) |
