Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna quotes on politics

2. (on the perceived need for cautious political development): 'We are the High Chiefs of these islands. We are the leaders of the people. On us is the duty of pointing out to them the right course. Bear this in mind. We have to lead on two points- hold back those who advocate radical changes (for which we are not sufficiently educated) and enliven the laggards before their ignorance destroys us.'

3. 'Eda na sega ni kilai na i Taukei kevaka ena sega mada ni dave e liu na noda dra.' (English Translation: 'Fijians will never be recognized unless our blood is first shed.')

7. 'This is the kind of leader we should try to emulate because he was true to himself and rose to the occasion when faced with daunting challenges always proving to the nation that they could depend on him.' (Ratu Josateki Nawalowalo, national organizer of Ratu Sukuna Day celebrations, 23 May 2005)
