I know how the American people care for that democratic principle. They want to see their vote respected. As we in Haiti want to see the vote of the people respected.

If one suffers we all suffer. Togetherness is strength. Courage.

We have not reached the consensus that to eat is a basic human right. This is an ethical crisis. This is a crisis of faith.

When you care about human beings, you do your best to not repress and to not let people to repress and to not arm people to repress.

The spirit of Ubuntu, that once led Haiti to emerge as the first independent black nation in 1804, helped Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador attain liberty, and inspired our forefathers to shed their blood for the United States' independence, cannot die. Today, this spirit of solidarity must and will empower all of us to rebuild Haiti.

Haiti, Haiti, the further I am from you, the less I breathe. Haiti, I love you, and I will love you always. Always.

We are all equal, rich and poor and we need a society where the people enjoy their rights.
