His Royal Highness Christian Otobotekere
'To God and to Man'
“Do what you can
You cannot do it all
Do what you can
And leave the rest to another
To do it better with less.
Do what you can
You cannot do it well
unless you leave the rest
To God and to man
To do it better with less
So why bother to do it all?
You can only do it well
then you do what you can
And leave the rest to God and to man.”
– Otobotekere (2009:81).
