I'm not sure if we want to imply that a human rights abuser and dictator of a democracy mostly by name only is inspirational.

Thank you for the feedback. I understand the concern. I included the quote based on its philosophical merit rather than the person’s political legacy, but I’m happy to remove it for alignment with Laravel’s values.
…lection and remove inspiring quotes from Mohamed Ghadafi and also one from Haile Selassie I and Ahmed Sékou Touré

Thank you for the feedback! 🙏 I've: Replaced the curly apostrophe in the Thomas Sankara quote with a straight one for consistency. Removed the quote attributed to Muammar Gaddafi to avoid any potential controversy. Let me know if anything else needs adjusting. 👍 |

@shaedrich I'm not a maintainer, so I can neither approve nor reject your PR. You'll have to wait for Taylor to do so. |

Ok Thanks |

Thanks for reviewing and merging this PR! 🙏 |

This pull request enriches the Inspiring.php file by adding powerful and thought-provoking quotes from prominent African leaders and revolutionaries such as Ahmed Sékou Touré, Thomas Sankara, Mohamad Ghadafi, Kwame Nkrumah, Haile Selassie I, and Nelson Mandela.
Why this addition matters:
These quotes bring diverse perspectives on leadership, freedom, courage, and social change.
They honor influential African voices, broadening the cultural representation within Laravel’s inspirational collection.
Developers worldwide rely on these quotes for motivation, and this update deepens that well of wisdom.
Including more globally representative quotes helps Laravel reflect a more inclusive and inspiring community.
I appreciate your time and consideration, and I hope these additions inspire Laravel’s community as much as they inspire me.
