Bob Marley

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.” – Robert Nesta Marley OM, Jamaican singer, musician and songwriter

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., American Baptist minister and civil rights activist

“Leadership is all about people. It is not about organizations. It is not about plans. It is not about strategies. It is all about people motivating people to get the job done. You have to be people-centered.” – Colin Powell, first African-American U.S. Secretary of State

“Immediate access to information is not wisdom. Just because you have access to information, that’s not wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to discern, understand how that information plays out, and how it should be applied. There are people with knowledge, but no wisdom.” – A. R. Bernard, Senior Pastor, Christian Cultural Center

“I call on all leaders in the Caribbean to promote sports and a healthy lifestyle so that we can maintain our position in athletics for many years to come.” –Chan Santokhi, President, Suriname / Chairman, CARICOM

“Imagine if our Caribbean institutions fully embraced and marketed – at home and abroad – this distinctive Caribbean quintessence, which we so woefully take for granted.” – Bevan Springer, President and CEO, Marketplace Excellence

“This is still a great time to prepare for the next chapter. It will not always be a struggle; the market will not always be volatile. As we ride out the difficulties now, our preparation today will pay dividends when things get smoother.” –Jeffrey Pankey, Founder and President, Figment Design
