Our maturity will be judged by how well we are able to agree to disagree and yet continue to love one another, to care for one another, and cherish one another and seek the greater good of the other.

There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort.

You stand out in the crowd only because you have these many, many carrying you on their shoulders.

The devastation wreaked by landmines is not only horrendous but immoral

Each one of us can be an oasis of peace.

It is by standing up for the rights of girls and women that we truly measure up as men.

Anywhere where the humanity of people is undermined, anywhere where people are left in the dust, there we will find our cause.
