Africa Quote by Werner Junge
““To put it in a nutshell- in Africa, your utmost strength is not enough to exhaust all the possibilities of life; in Europe your strength is exhausted before it is possible to life at all. A man with sound instincts, with the capacity and the strength to get things done, will always feel drawn to go where all his powers will be called upon.””
