FR. REVOCATUS PAUL'S QUOTATIONS

“In a moment when truth is being derivered to those who have been deprived of it, on their part it becomes a joyous moment but on the contrary when the same truth is delivered to the counterpart it becomes a bitter moment,Yet the same truth once not accepted it makes a step a head of the one who has rejected to embrace it. Accepting a truth is not instantenous process, it is a gradual process.In one way or another no body here on Earth has dared to embrace the absolute truth.What majority embrace is that which seem to be equivalent to truth.However truth with time should be embraced either in calm moments/displeasurablemoments.Those who have mismanaged truth I dare to call them liers.”

“Money is a decorated house for the devil.The devil welcomes those who abuse the use of that commodity called money into his decorated house.Thus money is the hidden trapof a devil waiting to catch those who mismanage it.”

“You can't climb the ladder of achievement while hands are on your pockets” (C.Niger)

“Lawless society/community will result into powerless against powerful individuals.The voice of the voiceless will never penetrate the voice of powerful individuals in a lawless society.Those in power are becoming ambitious to alter the constitutions of their respective countries to ensure that they remain in power for ever.Such people tend to think that they were born alpha and omega presidents.In Africa majority of our countries are ruled under the umbrella of democracy while in real sense what is happening at the ground is a drama of surviving for fittest vs weak people. What's really at stake in African politics is the gymnastic competition of those having strong teeth to tear aflesh against toothless individuals, honestly speaking who will win the competition?definitely are the ones having strong teeth to tear flesh on their predators(citizens).Our Leaders unlawful become presidents under Machiavel's principles(The end does not justify the means-If you want to be a leader make sure that you become,e.g if it's through shedding blood of Innocent people that is not a problem what matters is for an individual to become a leader).Let's pray for our dear brothers and sisters who are tormented by such system of Political ruling system without excluding Burundi,Zimbabwe,Uganda to mention but few.”

“Giving out of charity is moral and religious obligation on the part of the donor,but on the part of the recipient is not obligation, the constant charity donation to the recipient on the other hand turns out to be mandatory on the part of the donor.The recipient because of constant receiving charity from the donor turns it out to be obligation even if the donor has nothing to give yet the recipient will keep on demanding to be given even what is not there. When a recipient has not tested how to have what is given is found he/she won't stop demanding much.In order to let the recipient who has been given charity freely test how it is found never give him/her fish, rather teach him/her how to fish.”

“It's good to hear people's advices,yet it is dangerous to be at people's disposal,once you accept that condition of being at one's disposal it means you are owned as any other property,you are no longer free to express the freedom of your conscience. Being at peoples disposal is slavery created unknowingly/knowingly. Because of poverty majority have found themselves victims of being owned like any other property while in real sense they are both conscience and thinking beings(rational animals)”

“It is surprising that we have what we call university Lecturers,Doctors,and Professors, some of these academicians have been given these academic titles undeservedly.If you have done tertiary(university education) It's my hope that you have realized that some of the mentioned people above hold academic credentials they are not supposed to hold. The cause of this is due to fact that in their teaching and presenting materials to their students they seem to be not what they hold as their academic status. Poor presentation of staff to the students is an indication that a Professor/Lecturer/Doctor was not qualified to that title because of the following reasons:1.In the course of his study he/studied the course by claiming and memorizing without understanding the core subject at hand. 2.Plagiarism:In this fact majority falls to this category,this concerns those who copy other peoples works and acknowledge them as their original work.Some even have dared to copy and paste peoples thesis and dissertations and thus acknowledge them as their original work for academic credit.This is what we call an intellectual theft! down the centuries these people have been there and are still there eating where they have not sown.This to say is not different from other graft public scandals.Academic irregularities and dishonest is a big scandal beyond corruption scandal.Our government is silent on such people being in our universities and public offices holding the titles they do not in fact deserve. The government should be courageous to take the disciplinary measures against these people.Yet the challenge ahead is that who will fix the bell at cat's neck??those holding high public offices are the one in front line being victims of academic irregularities and dishonest! who is able to confront the other? Corruption has become an incurable disease that is eating our institutions?will PCCB be able to deal with these intellectual robbers in our universities and public offices?”

“Wahubiri siyo kazi yenu kuhubiria waumini wenu na kisha kuwaacha mawinguni Bali wahubirieni hadi mkawafikishe mbinguni(Polepole kwenye semina ya kura ya maoni ya Katiba pendekezwa jumbo kuu Katoliki la Arusha)”

"A good speach is motivated by prior preparation of an occassion to be discussed."

“It's useless and silly to be critical on other affairs that won't benefit you at all.Critical minds are the one's that seek to construct and not to destroy what has been already constructed. If you can't construct never attempt to destroy ready made reality /thought”

“The use of mobile phones has facilitated many things to be done in a short period of time.This has made communication to be easy as we can imagine.The use of this technology has somehow to a greater extent replaced the local method of communication like postage communication, and Landline telephone communication system.All in all we have the courage to thank God for having enlightened the scientists mind to discover such an easy communication facility.However,there has been shortcomings due to use of this communication technology,to mention few examples,it has been found that the use of mobile technology in facilitating communication also has resulted into cyber crimes like theft, the use of this technology has also resulted into illegal marital affairs (breaking of marriage),it has resulted also into psychological in equilibrium due to mismanagement of the communication facilities.There are many things that have to be discussed concerning the abuse use of the communication facilities.”

“When being invited by your relative/friend to an ocassion never refuse to attend that event, the event may once change your way of thinking and your way of looking at things. Availing at an occasion does not necessarily mean to eat and drink,but it also mean meeting people and exchange World's view and life reality.through this process,thus when you attend an occasion it is also a chance for personal transformation and maturity.”

“Kwenye jamii hawakosekanagi watu wa kulaumu wengine hata wakikosa wa kulaumu basi wao hulaumu kuwa kwa nini waliumbwa? Watu kama hao ndo waitwao wale watafutao ukamilifu na mambo yote kwao huwa wanataka yawe makamilifu(Perfectionist people) hawa huwa hawakubali mapungufu ya wenzao ila huwa wanapenda ukamilifu kwa wengine.Hivyo kundi hili la watu wapendao kuona ukamilifu(perfection in others) wanakuwa siyo rahisi kuishi na kuelewana na jamaa na rafiki zao.Ni kwa msingi huu tunaona kuwa watu wa namna hii siyo rahisi kuwa na marafiki wengi kwa kuwa wao huona kila mtu siyo mkamilifu kama wao watakavyo.lawama na kuwalaumu wengine kuwa wamekosea bila hata kuangalia mazuri yao huwa kwa wakati mwingine inamfanya huyu apendaye ukamilifu kwake na kwa wengine daima aishi ulimwengu wake aujuaye yeye. Na kwa kutengeneza ulimwengu aujuaye huyo atakaye ukamilifu si ajabu wale wasio wakamilifu oia nayeye wakaona mapungufu yake na hivyo kupelekea kuitwa mwenye akili sana au mwendawazimu. Heshima kwa utu wa mtu yakiwemo mazuri na mapungufu ya mtu huwa ndo vinajenga utu wa mtu.Vile avifanyavyo mwanadamu huwa ndo vinajenga na kubomoa utu wake.Utu wa mtu kwa ujumla ukamilishwa na mahitaji yake ,mazingira,na oia watu aishio nao. Mtu asiposifiwa kwa yale ayafanyayo utu wake unakuwa umefananishwa na yule mtu aonaye dhahabu iliyochanganyikana na matope akaamua kuitupilia jalalani baadala ya kuondoa tope ns kuchukua dhahabu. Vivyo hivyo mtu akiwa na mapungufu siyo kuwa ni mbaya,upande mwingune wa Shilingi ni kuwa mtu huyo mabaya yake yakiondolewa bado anamazuri ya kunufaisha jamii.Hivi ni wangapi wametupwa majalalani na mazuri yao wakidhaniwa kuwa ni wabaya wakutupwa???Tutafakari juu ya hilo.”

“Ukikutana na yule usiyemjua njiani usimcheke/kumdharau/kumsengenya kwa namna alivyo kwa kuwa huyu aweza akawa anaenda nyumbani kwako na pia aweza kuwa mtu mashuhuri ambaye siku zote umekuwa ukisikia habari zake na pia ungelipenda kukutana naye siku moja.Kumbuka kuwa cheo cha mtu huwa hakimbadilishi sura,ila watu wamjuaye huyo mtu huwa ndo wanampaka sura kutokana na cheo chake na matendo yake kwenye jamii aishiyo.”

“Don't look at rich people and think that they became rich within a day, their state of being rich has left the history behind! If you attempt to examine, and analyse their history of how they got there, somehow the nature by itself will tell you a lot concerning Histories of such rich men, which include good and bad histories.All in all History remains a history despite of its good/bad attributes.History is for those who make it.”

“If you want to know who is a real friend to you, just mention your problem to him/her.From his/reaction it's when you will notice his/her concern to you.”

“Binadamu daima huwa hakosi kisingizio.Akikosa kumsngizia mwanadamu mwenzake basi atasingizia utupu,giza na mwanga.”

“A man who said to have been a university graduant was some where looking for an employment, thanks be to God in his going around he saw an advatisement inviting candidates of his qualifications to appy for a job on that particular company, a man being delighted went with his credentials ready for an interview, reaching at the gate of the company he found a very simple and short Man standing at the gate talking to a Watchman, when a man being asked what was he looking at the Company a man unhestatingly replied" I want to meet a boss of this Company, I am having an issue with him" the simple and short Man at the gate asked him " which issue are you having with him?" A man replied, " sorry it does not concern you, please tell me if the boss is around or he is not around? and don't waste my time". As the interogation was going on between the university graduant looking for a job in the company, and the short Man, thus a confrotation between the two arose. At the end of long argument and confrotation, the short and simple man revealed himself that he was the company's boss. He told a university graduant that he had already failed an interview! Lesson. Pay respect to people you meet because you never know that when you are looking for something they are the ones to find that thing for you. Being wise and prudent in dealing with others is passmark for our daily interviews.”

“Everybody who is idle, potentially is the green pasture where the devil may be fed on.”

“When people don't speak something about you, don't think that they don't know you, your way of life(Moral conducts) will reveal to people who are you, this qualifies people either to talk good things about you or to talk evil things about you. Nevertheless, the challenge here is that majority prefer to speak scandalous news about others instead of good news! what pushes them to act like that? It's because the devil has been at work and is at work to ensure that good minds are corrupted in a way that they can't see goodness on others.”

“The way you are( Physical make up, Psychological make up, mental make up, social make up) is the way God wants to communicate to others and make them learn from you. Don't disapprove God for having created you the way you are, He has got purpose to create you,the plan of God to our life is beyond our intellectual grasp. Let God fulfill His plans and Purposes in our life. Remember that Comparison in life breeds contempt. God has created every body in a unique way in order to accomplish the design of His creation.”

“Human beings are only beings but are beings after the attention and understanding of meaning in life.”

“Evil men should not be blamed for corruting the World,rather those who have to be blamed are those people keeping quite amidist of evil men without any discplinary action thus creating an evironment for evil doers to flourish.”

“Society without regulations& laws is like life in a zoo.”

“Food for thought: Just think ten years ago had you ever thought to be where you are and do what you are doing now? have you ever thought what will you be doing at the time like now for the next ten years to come? if the answer is Yes,then how do you know it? If the answer is no,then submit your hopes&expectations into the hands of God.”

“The truth said by our elders to avoid a certain ways of conduct can't be accepted instantly. The truth foreseen by our elders never fade away, it rather proceeds a head, extra mile. It awaits to reveal by itself when the circumstance foretold by the elders to be avoided reoccurs. The truth is ever a head of Man's thinking. Let a truth be a truth. A lie will never complement a truth.”

“What makes people to love or to hate one another is not one's physical make up, rather it's one's bodly languages and ways of conduct. By nature man is born good, nevertheless,after being brought fourth in a society, thus he/she becomes corrupted by societal influences.”

“In order to know man's humbleness and responsibleness , two prerequisites are need .1. Let him/her be left free to do whatever he/she likes 2. Let him/her be given a mandate to exercise his/her freedom on others.”

“Two brick's makers were found making bricks when were asked what were they doing one replied"I am building a cathedral, the other replied "I am mixing sand and cement to make bricks, between the two who gave a correct answer?”

“Kuna bwana mmoja ambaye ukimwangalia kutoka kwa mbali alikuwa anapendeza
sana, ila ukimkaribia kidogo sura yake na maumbile kidogo vilikuwa vya kutatanisha. Kope za macho yake ni kama za mbuzi, ndevu kama mashurubu ya paka, mwili wake mzima ulijaa manyoya na vitu vingine vingi. FUNDISHO. Ukitaka kumjua mtu ninini na ninani usiishie kumtazama kwa mara moja ila kaa naye na uishi naye hapo utaona mengi na kujua mengi kutoka kwake bila ya kuacha mashurubu ya
paka nyuma.”

“Naturally we are all born free,and uncorrupt. We are all sons and daughters of the same Father,
God. Nevertheless, in the course of our growth to understand and know who we are, we found out that we are divided, and corrupted by religious doctrines, tribalism, nationalism, and by diverse social &political ideologies. Eliminating all these, we are the sons and daughter of the same father who can share one bread and drink one cup at the same table.”

“If Jesus was called by his own brothers and sisters as "a man who was out of his mind one day" thus if you believe in Jesus and trust him, in his name you might be also called "you are out of your mind" by your own brothers and sisters,instead of revenging to them say "Amen" to Jesus the Lord and he will grant you wisdom and knowledge in abundance.”

“It's unwise to cling to the topmost step mean while the next steps before the top most step have neither been stepped on nor recovered. Thus in life every step/stage has got a role to play, otherwise skipping steps in life to cling for the one that seems better is what i may call "making short cut in life" all those who have ever attempted life short cut to cling for the best have found themselves in a place they wouldn't want to be. Courage, vigilance and perseverance are the only key solutions to gain what's noble(the highest stage).”

“Don't get amused when people clap for you, rather think twice the reason for their clap,and the reciprocal cost that has to be paid for the clap.”

“It somehow surprises me when i think of the fact that, money is made of papers and coins. Money can't speak, yet it makes people to speak wisely or violantly. Money can't move because it has neither hands nor legs, yet it makes people to move a far distances. Money is dressless, yet it makes people either to look smart, or to look lough! Furthermore, money makes others to look mad/crazy while they are not at all. Though money is speechless nobody dare to fear it. What's in money is a big deal, only God knows.”

“Mtu huitwa kichaa au mwendawazimu pindi anapopotelewa na dhana ya aibu kabisa kwa yale ayafanyanyo mbele ya watu. Ukichaa na uendawazimu hizi pia ni dini za pekee.”

“If you want to prove that you are really genious think of the wonders you have done to an extent that both ordinary and extra ordinary minds get suprised! Don't light a candle infront of blind men, and call your self a genious man, but think of how you can make an inventory that had never been into existence, thereby you can call your self a great thinker of the great mind.”

“If you want to know how people hate or love you, involve in a serious issue that's about to cost your life.”

“It's better to accomplish the assigned task, than keep on lamenting before accomplishing it.Our daily assigned tasks however simple or difficult they are, is God's calling to us and infact this is our vocation to accomplish what we have been assigned to do.”

“Somebody's simplicity, humility &humbleness is not confirmed by appearance but rather it's confirmed, tested and judged by his/her ways of conducts (By words &deeds)”

“To be given a bottle of cocacola by somebody you meet on the street is not both a guarantee and conclusion that he/she is a good person! If you want to know and understand who is really a good person have your enough time to live with him/her. At the end you will realize whether the person is good or not. N.b. Bear also in mind that goodness /badness might be subjective in accordance with determined circumstance of the issue in question! Thus it's irrelevant to evaluate and give the conclusion of the reality due to first impression without having a recourse on the entire experience of the judged phenomena.”
