"Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.”
– Francis of Assisi
Poverty poisons good health, destroys peace, fuels war, fertilizes war, fertilizes crime, kills dreams and extinguishes positive aspirations. "No plague has such magnitude of casualties as it does.”
“There is therefore a sacred obligation upon us individually and collectively to liberate the poor from its shackles and have its woes consigned into the wastebasket of history.”
– Barr. Aminu Kayode
“The Unity we make for ourselves today is what will make a way for us tomorrow.”
– Barr. Aminu Kayode
“The Simplest acts of kindness are by far more prayerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”
– Mahatma Ghandi
