No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.

Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation. They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care for and protect our people.

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

Leaders will have to give clear and decisive leadership towards a world of tolerance and respect for difference, and an uncompromising commitment to peaceful solutions of conflicts and disputes.

We can build a society grounded on friendship and our common humanity - a society founded on tolerance. That is the only road open to us.

I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.

I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
