“The sign of a good leader is easy to recognize, though it is hardly ever seen. For the greatest leaders are those who share as equals in the trials and struggles, the demands and expectations, the hills and trenches, the laws and punishments placed upon the backs of those governed. A great leader is motivated not by power but by compassion. Therefore he can do nothing but make himself a servant to those whom he rules. Such a leader is unequivocally respected, and loved for loving.”

“The history of the astronomy of the nineteenth century will be incomplete without a catalogue of his labours.

“Life is so unfair. Why would children be born to parents who use and abuse them while those who cherish and ‘garnishâ€� them remain ‘emptyâ€�? Why would the obdurate and cantankerous abound in wealth while the affectionate and generous pauperize? Why would the beautiful and dutiful lack suitors while the bland and unplanned are plenteously patronized? Why would everyday be for the thiefâ€� and not for the chief? Why, why and why?”

“According to memorable history, Mohlala Tribe who are the descendants of Chief Segodi Mohlala are from Mogodumo. In their ancient search for better place to stay as a peaceful tribe, they moved from Mogodumo and settled in Mamone (Jane Furse). During their tenure in Mamone it transpired that an albino was to be anointed as Lebone/Mmagosechaba (I.e. the ruling Chief's wife to bear a chief). This arrangement did not go well with the majority of the tribe members who then decided to relocate eastwards with their first stop at Makgane/Magnet Heights. When at Makgane, Chief Segodi decided to move further towards what is currently referred to as Steelpoort. It was then that his eldest son Ntlori and some members of the tribe remained behind and later moved to settle at place currently called Mmakgwale on the way to Schoonoord. From Mmakgwale, Chief Ntlori relocated to Selokong in Schoonoord, then to what is now called Ga - Mohlala Village in Schoonoord and they have been in this area since 1826 until today.”

“What does 'chef' mean?"
"Uh, 'chief,'" he replies.
"That's right. Chief. The person in charge. I have just been appointed executive chef, which means I'm the number one in charge here, and I'm now announcing that a few things are going to change. First off- Paul, listen up here- we will treat each other with respect. So that means no more names that you pretend to think are cute and funny but that we all know are incredibly shitty. If I hear anyone throwing around racial or ethnic or sexist slurs, there will be consequences. And those consequences may or may not include me pinning your willie to that bulletin board." She gestures to the corkboard where schedules and messages are posted. A few of the men in the crowd wince.”

“Sitting Bull gave most of the money away to the band of ragged, hungry boys who seemed to surround him wherever he went. He once told Annie Oakley, another one of the Wild West Show's stars, that he could not understand how white men could be so unmindful of their own poor. "The white man knows how to make everything," he said, "but he does not know how to distribute it.”
