Do you know what we call opinion in the absence of evidence? We call it prejudice.
Corruption is the enemy of development, and of good governance. It must be got rid of. Both the government and the people at large must come together to achieve this national objective.
Accept the long night patiently, quietly, humbly, and resignedly as intended for your true good. It is not a punishment for sin committed but an instrument of annihilating egoism.
There is more to joy than looking only for affirmation; refusing to be challenged is the only bigotry.
There is, after all, no moral difference between the bigot and the tolerator. They are from case to case positive or negative.
