Alexander Bustamante & Norman Washington Manley

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

“Jamaicans are patient, trustful and law abiding and if properly treated no one has anything to fear. The conditions existing today have not sprung up overnight but they have been left to grow worst till the situation is now acute…"

- Rt. Excellent Sir Alexander Bustamante

“Many of us dare to believe that this country, so blended in origins so fashioned in time, so wrought on by our own history may go out in to the world to make a contribution larger than our size alone would lead one to expect."

- Rt. Excellent Norman Washington Manley
