Mr. Speaker, Sir : An autobiography of the silver-tongued orator

I am of origin and proud of my Indian heirtage, but I am prouder of my country, Trinidad and Tobago. This is our land, our native land, to whose soil will be addedthe last remains of our mortal bodies. p 455

I have seen this hodgepodge of races, this cosmopolitan blend, work assidously to make our beloved land an experience of harmony, as we began to fre ourselves from the shackles of imperialism and the yoke of mistrust. p xi

Let me say frankly that I am not prepared to sacrifice Trinidadians for the benefit of the small islanders. To say that Trinidadians are better off is utter nonsense. Here hundreds of thousands, and particularly in Tobago, are just eking out an existence, starving for bread. p 226
