Dignity is more important to the human spirit than wealth.

It's about all of us, and the kind of world that we, together, want to live in and share.

What we really yearn for as human beings is to be visible.

The older I get, the more determined I feel to do whatever I can to help release that human potential somehow. Not in a fluffy way nor in a hardcore way. But in that middle ground, that marriage of love and power. I'm not afraid of either.

Each of us can work to change a small portion of events. And it's in the total of all those acts that the history of this generation will be written.

Freedom ultimately is dignity. And dignity, not income, is the opposite of poverty.

I was going to save the world, and I thought I would start with the African continent.
