I thought that words and books and pens were more powerful than guns.

There is no greater weapon than knowledge and no greater source of knowledge than the written word.

We are stronger than those who oppress us, who seek to silence us. We are stronger than the enemies of education. We are stronger than fear, hatred, violence and poverty.

This is the philosophy of nonviolence that I have learned from Gandhi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa.

We human beings don't realize how great God is. He has given us an extraordinary brain and a sensitive loving heart. He has blessed us with two lips to talk and express our feelings, two eyes which see a world of colors and beauty, two feet which walk on the road of life, two hands to work for us, a nose which smells the beauty of fragrance, and two ears to hear the words of love.

So today, we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favor of peace and prosperity. We call upon the world leaders that all of these deals must protect women and children’s rights. A deal that goes against the rights of women is unacceptable.

We have to change this idea that women are only supposed to work in the house... Women should go out and be what they want
