For me, survival is the ability to cope with difficulties, with circumstances, and to overcome them.

Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place.

One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.

History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.

This must be a world of democracy and respect for human rights, a world freed from the horrors of poverty, hunger, deprivation and ignorance, relieved of the threat and the scourge of civil wars and external aggression and unburdened of the great tragedy of millions forced to become refugees.

I am fundamentally an optimist.

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