"consensus-building was the most important endeavour politicians, trade unionists, academicians, civil societies and think tanks on the African continent must embrace to allow them to collectively agree on national and continental priorities."
"For me, the greatest problem we have as a country and continent is we are not able to marshal the best minds or skills in Ghana and Africa because of multiparty politics."
"The world needs to be aware that this can't happen and we in Ghana, the people, must add our voice to the millions of people all over the world that there must be a humanitarian corridor enough, no more killing; war is never the solution; the solution is political. But before we get to the political, we need to stop the bombing, stop the killing, and stop the destruction ."
"father died while their mother was still young was another painful sacrifice they had to endure while growing up."
"They were together for only 8 years. This young, beautiful woman was left with three children, but that’s how it was. That is the price we paid for our independence, and it’s a price we’re still paying to become economically independent."
"All Africans across the globe must come together to prosper."
"I wonder why we didn't think about five or six regional markets rather than one. I know the answer ."

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
