The greatest single challenge facing our globalised world is to combat and eradicate its disparities.

What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.

Even if you have a terminal disease, you don't have to sit down and mope. Enjoy life and challenge the illness that you have.

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life . . .

Only through hardship, sacrifice and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days.

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