There are some among the so-called elite who are overbearing and arrogant. I want to foster leaders, not elitists.

Let us join our efforts toward building the unshakable foundations for a culture of peace.

Keep moving forward, even one or two steps, in your own way. Those who live out their lives to the fullest, unperturbed by the noisy clamor around them, are the true winners.

A healthy vision of the future is not possible without an accurate knowledge of the past.

Where there is an absence of international political leadership, civil society should step in to fill the gap, providing the energy and vision needed to move the world in a new and better direction.

Strength is happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness

A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader.
