Every kindness I received, small or big, convinced me that there could never be enough of it in our world... Kindness can change the lives of people.

We want to empower our people; we want to strengthen them; we want to provide them with the kind of qualifications that will enable them to build up their own country themselves.

Where there is no justice there can be no secure peace.

Fires of suffering and strife are raging around the world.

When the Nobel Committee chose to honor me, the road I had chosen of my own free will became a less lonely path to follow.

I was a prisoner, but I always felt free because I was not frightened So for me real freedom is freedom from fear.

When you decide to follow a certain path, you should follow it to the end and not be diverted from it for personal reasons.
