A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.
Every mind is a room packed with archaic furniture.

One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity.

When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.
