Jomo Kenyatta addressing a meeting of Caucasian authorities. "If you want to understand one another, the best thing is to talk together, to exchange views. This is my belief. We must also learn how to forgive one another. We are not angels; we re human beings. And as such, we are bound to make mistakes. If I have done this to you, it is up to you to forgive me. If you have done to me, I say it is for me to forgive you. We want you to cooperate with us, so we can work together to make Kenya a suitable place for human beings to live in."
