You need to get up in the morning and say, 'Boy, I'm going to - in my own stupid way - save the world today.'

Children have in the past and continue to influence policy makers.

The real solution is to improve the incomes of the poor and provide their children with decent education.

When the lives and the rights of children are at stake, there must be no silent witnesses.

What is needed now are increased efforts to promote youth participation and commitment; more services aimed at youth; more parental involvement; more education and information, using schools and other sites; more protection for girls, orphaned children and young women;and more partnerships with people with HIV and AIDS.

...in serving the best interests of children, we serve the best interests of all humanity.

You need to get up in the morning and say, 'Boy, I'm going to - in my own stupid way - save the world today.'
