Umbali Utakaotembelea Maishani

How Far You Go In Life

KISWAHILI

“Umbali utakaotembelea maishani unategemea kuwa mwororo kwa vijana, kuwa na huruma kwa wazee, kuwa hurumia wanaojitahidi, na kuwavumilia wanyonge na wanafanya makosa. [Maana] siku moja maishani, utakuwa umekuwa haya yote.”

- Walter Scott, jina la kalamu la Lloyd Shearer, gazeti la Parade (1973)*

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. [Because] someday in life, you will have been all of these.”

- Walter Scott, pen name of Lloyd Shearer, Parade magazine (1973)*
