In Tanzania, it was more than ...

In Tanzania, it was more than one hundred tribal units which lost their freedom; it was one nation that regained it.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

Freedom to many means immediat...

Freedom to many means immediate betterment, as if by magic. Unless I can meet at least some of these aspirations, my support will wane and my head will roll just as surely as the tickbird follows the rhino.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

African nationalism is meaning...

African nationalism is meaningless, dangerous, anachronistic, if it is not, at the same time, pan-Africanism.

The greatest contraceptive one can have in the developing world is the knowledge that your children will live

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

Cooperation and conflict are t...

Cooperation and conflict are two sides of the same coin; both arise out of man's relationship with his fellows. The larger the group, the greater the possibility of development through cooperation, and the greater the possibility of conflict.

I have read and re-read the Arusha Declaration and found nothing wrong with it except perhaps replacing a few commas here and there... it was clear for some of us that it would only be a mad man who would stand up and defend the Arusha Declaration.

Small nations are like indecently dressed women. They tempt the evil-minded.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

The African is not 'Communistic' in his thinking; he is -- if I may coin an expression - 'communitary'.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

We, in Africa, have no more ne...

We, in Africa, have no more need of being 'converted' to socialism than we have of being 'taught' democracy. Both are rooted in our past -- in the traditional society which produced us.

If a door is shut, attempts should be made to open it; if it is ajar, it should be pushed until it is wide open. In neither case should the door be blown up at the expense of those inside.

Violence is unnecessary and costly. Peace is the only way.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

If real development is to take place, the people have to be involved.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

We spoke and acted as if, given the opportunity for self-government, we would quickly create utopias. Instead injustice, even tyranny, is rampant.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

When we were at school we were...

When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?

Independence cannot be real if a nation depends upon gifts.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

Having come into contact with ...

Having come into contact with a civilization which has over-emphasized the freedom of the individual, we are in fact faced with one of the big problems of Africa in the modern world. Our problem is just this: how to get the benefits of European society - benefits that have been brought about by an organization based upon the individual - and yet retain African's own structure of society in which the individual is a member of a kind of fellowship.

Decisions made in Washington are more important to us than those made here in Dar es-Salaam. So, maybe my people should be allowed to vote in American presidential elections.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

No nation has the right to make decisions for another nation; no people for another people.

Julius Nyerere 25 quotes

In Tanganyika we believe that only evil, Godless men would
make the color of a mans skin the criteria for granting him civil
rights.

Education is not a way to escape poverty, it is a way of fighting it.
