A government which uses force to maintain its rule teaches the oppressed to use force to oppose it.

Appearances matter — and remember to smile.

We now undertake that we cannot rest while millions of our people suffer the pain and indignity of poverty in all its forms.

We owe our children – the most vulnerable citizens in any society – a life free from violence and fear.

Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation. They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care for and protect our people.

If you don’t intend having a compromise, you don’t negotiate at all.

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.
