”Obumanyirivu bulaga nti obuwanguzi bwesigamizibwa ku bunyiikivu so si busobozi. Omuwanguzi y’oyo eyeeweerayo ddala eri omulimu gwe mu mubiri n’omwoyo.”

( “Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work body and soul”)
CHARLES BUXTON
