The world got side-tracked from development issues during the post-9/11 crisis period.

In the early 1990s, when a lot of the developing world opened up to international capital flows... they ended up in very good long-term projects, but projects that weren't going to pay off for five or 10 or 20 years.

Without restoring an ethos of social responsibility, there can be no meaningful and sustained economic recovery.

Let the future say of our generation that we sent forth mighty currents of hope and that we worked together to heal the world.

This is our greatest challenge: learning to live in a crowded and interconnected world that is creating unprecedented pressures on human society and on the physical environment.

It's not so unusual to run out of someone else's currency.

We are not at war (except with our own demons).
