Take it easy Historian, it is Joshuas 90th birthday and the comrades are feeling nostalgic.
Manley did have some great quotes, I will give him that. Maybe he should have been a motivational speaker.

- Address to the United Nations General Assembly, October 2, 1972
- ‘The Politics of Change’, Mr Manley’s first book, published 1974

Democracy means far more than the right to vote every five years. It means the right to participate in every aspect of national and community life. The people must believe that they can take part.” - Michael Manley
“We believe that the idea of equality is the only enduring principle by which mankind may be guided in the conduct of national and international affairs.” - Michael Manley
“Government today must not only reflect the politics which have been described as the art of the possible. It must reflect also the pursuit of the ‘impossible’, so that our own capacity may be confirmed to ourselves and self-doubt banished.”
