If you have Palestinians who have no hope, who don't have a job, who've used up all their resources, the notion of getting rid of violence is a dream.

If you're changing the status quo, whatever move you make is disrupting something else.

We have three billion people, half the world's population today, living on less than two dollars a day.

I was deeply concerned then, and have become more concerned since, that unless we can deal with the questions of development and the questions of poverty, there's no way that we're going to have a peaceful world for our children.

What we need to do is increase the totality of money that is given to the poorest areas and then we can do more on prevention but we have crucial needs at the moment just to get people out of poverty and to get the eight hundred million people that go to bed at night hungry, give them some food and some hope.

Ownership is a sine qua non of sustainable development.

The first thing that you need to deal with is the issue of equity and poverty.
