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

I believe that in the end that it is kindness and accommodation that are all the catalysts for real change.

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.

The UN took a strong stand against apartheid; and over the years, an international consensus was built, which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system. But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians...

We need to exert ourselves that much more, and break out of the vicious cycle of dependence imposed on us by the financially powerful: those in command of immense market power and those who dare to fashion the world in their own image.

If you are negotiating you must do so in a spirit of reconciliation, not from the point of view of issuing ultimatums.

If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important - and you do that by being genuine and humble.
