A Wikipedia philosophy...
[edit]| “ | We don't do it for the glory. We don't do it for the recognition. We do it because it needs to be done. Because if we don't, no one else will. And we do it even if no one knows what we've done. Even if no one knows we exist. Even if no one remembers we ever existed. |

Sarah Forbes Bonetta (c. 1843 – 1880), born Aina or Ina, was an African slave who later became a ward and goddaughter of Queen Victoria. Believed to be a titled member of the Yewa, a clan of the West African Yoruba people, she was orphaned as a child during a war with the nearby kingdom of Dahomey and was later enslaved by Ghezo, the king of Dahomey. She was then given as a "gift" to Captain Frederick E. Forbes of the Royal Navy and was taken to England, where she became a goddaughter of Queen Victoria. On Victoria's orders, Bonetta married Captain James Pinson Labulo Davies, a wealthy Lagos philanthropist, in 1862. The couple moved back to Africa and had three children, including Lagos socialite Victoria Davies Randle. Bonetta died aged 37 on the Portuguese island of Madeira. This formal photograph, taken by the French photographer Camille Silvy in 1862, shows Bonetta and Davies at around the time of their marriage.Photograph credit: Camille Silvy; restored by Adam Cuerden

In the Chinese language, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters, one representing danger and the other, opportunity.
