Self-government won't work without self-discipline.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Belize is not ready for self-government.
A government that doesn't work is in no one's interest.
How can I govern others, who can't even govern myself?
Government will not fail to employ education, to strengthen its hands, and perpetuate its institutions.
No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.
With self-discipline most anything is possible.
Self-government can succeed only through an instructed electorate.
I don't need government to be successful.
Self-government does not and should not imply the use of political agencies alone. Progress is born of cooperation in the community - not from governmental restraints.
The principle of self-government cannot be violated with impunity. The individual's right to it is sacred - regardless of class, caste, race, color, sex or any other accident or incident of birth.
