One of the sad realities today is that very few people, especially young people, read books. Unless we can find imaginative ways of addressing this reality, future generations are in danger of losing their history.

The collapse of good conscience and the absence of accountability and public scrutiny have led to crimes against humanity and violations of international law.

The world remains beset by so much human suffering, poverty and deprivation. It is in your hands to make of our world a better one for all, especially the poor, vulnerable and marginalised.

I am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope.

We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.

The time is always right to do right

I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come.
