Negotiation and discussion are the greatest weapons we have for promoting peace and development.

Now we are in the second term of the government of a united nation and the government has done very well. One thing they have done, one thing people could not be blind to, was the achievement this government has made in giving human beings dignity, which they did not enjoy before. They now have dignity.

Resentment is like a glass of poison that a man drinks; then he sits down and waits for his enemy to die.

I feel like a young man of 15.

One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.

Forget the past.

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
