    Whence turbulent Italy should draw
    Delight in Art whose end is peace,
    In logic and in natural law
    By sucking at the dugs of Greece.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man’s humanity to man.”
