"DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE" Quotes






"...The world gets blessed every now and then with unique souls who though burdened by their invisible crosses, still have the extraordinary strength to forge ahead in life and give others a helping hand at the same time. Despite their tribulations, most of us think they are fine. Even when the weight of their crosses becomes unbearable, even when they proceed in a breathless manner, we still have a hard time understanding that they are drowning. In fact, we even condemn them for failing to sacrifice more...”
                                                         From  Disciples of Fortune

“Son, always bear in mind that you are having the best of the African and European worlds. Always remember that. You are more enlightened.”

                                                         From  Disciples of Fortune

“Remember this, Sons! Survivors and prevailers are those who love themselves above failure and everything else except the abstract and mysterious. The abstract and mysterious are those people and things that enrich our lives, those people and things that we invest our time and energy in without expecting rewards, to the point where we turn to view any reward from them as a bonus. A man’s family and homeland are two of those exceptions. His reverend is another. You will never fail in the eternal sense of things if you sacrifice your love for yourself over those three because there will always be someone who shares your noble intentions to take over from where you left off. Betrayal over the abstract and the mysterious that are embodied in an ideal for something good and noble can’t be blamed on the betrayed because the course of an ideal can never be charted with a hundred percent certainty. You are not a failure if people betray you while you are brandishing such an ideal, or even if the ideal or its cause ends in a shipwreck. Don’t we all accept the fact that we can live with errors?”

“Remember these, Sons! Truth presented with tenderness enriches the soul of man and enhances humanity in the process. A Franco-Cameroonian relation based on truth and nurtured with tenderness will be to the benefit not only of Kamerun and France, but also of mankind as a whole.”
                                                         From  Disciples of Fortune

“Most of our brains are out, but it is good what they did for themselves by leaving this country. They are Cameroon’s reserve for development, for the day that this country shall be free. Your late father was an intelligent man. He was even more than that. He was a sage. He once said to me that the intelligent Bamilekés are those who have sought a better future for themselves and for their families in British Cameroons. He was right. They have not been brainwashed as much as their francophone brothers have. If he were alive today, I am sure he would have judged that the intelligent Cameroonians are those who have sought refuge out of Cameroon.”
