The time is always right to do right

I was not born with a hunger to be free, I was born free.

I will use the rest of my life to help the poor overcome the problems confronting them - poverty is the greatest challenge facing humanity. That is why I build schools; I want to free people from poverty and illiteracy.

It is my deepest conviction that the children should be seen and heard as our most treasured assets.

Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

When the history of our times is written, will we be remembered as the generation that turned our backs in a moment of global crisis or will it be recorded that we did the right thing?
