Famous quotes containing the words italy and/or ghana:

    “In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!”
    —Orson Welles (1915–84)

    “While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man’s humanity to man.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
