Truth, I have learned, differs for everybody. Just as no two people ever see a rainbow in exactly the same place-and yet both most certainly see it, while the person seemingly standing right underneath it does not see it at all-so truth is a question of where one stands, and the direction one is looking in at the time.

The first of a thousand lies. Truth flowed to Micah Quill, was sucked in and disappeared, and emerged again looking ever so much like it used to, but changed subtly, at the edges, where none would notice, so that simple truth became a complicated fabric indeed, one that could wrap you up so tightly and close you off from the air until you suffocated in it.
Orson Scott Card
I am aware that many regard me as an anti-sports character person, but the truth is that the country's economy by then was in bad shape. Tanzania being among the highly indebted countries, I had to give sports the least prominence during my first term, while setting priorities in revitalising our economy.
