We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

There has to be a global mission of human progress.

Tomorrow, the entire ANC leadership and I will be back at our desks. We are rolling up our sleeves to begin tackling the problems our country faces. We ask you all to join us - go back to your jobs in the morning. Let's get South Africa working. For we must, together and without delay, begin to build a better life for all South Africans. This means creating jobs building houses, providing education and bringing peace and security for all.

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.

All work undertaken should be useful - not just for a day, or a year, but useful in the sense that it affords permanent improvement in living conditions or that it creates future new wealth for the Nation.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.
