I believe in peace. I believe in mercy.

One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

I don't know why people have divided the whole world into two groups, west and east. Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it's the right of every human being.

A city without books, a city without a library is like a graveyard.

The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.

It is not time to tell the leaders to realize how important education is - they already know it - their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action.
