I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.

Our march to freedom is irreversible. We must not allow fear to stand in our way. Universal suffrage on a common voters' roll in a united, democratic and non-racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

We signal that good can be achieved amongst human beings who are prepared to trust, prepared to believe in the goodness of people.

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?

The past is a rich resource on which we can draw in order to make decisions for the future, but it does not dictate our choices. We should look back at the past and select what is good, and leave behind what is bad.

Why is the United States behaving so arrogantly? All that (Mr. Bush) wants is Iraqi oil.
