Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
From Kofi Annan
More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.
We have the means and the capacity to deal with our problems, if only we can find the political will.
In their greatest hour of need, the world failed the people of Rwanda.
On climate change, we often don't fully appreciate that it is a problem. We think it is a problem waiting to happen.
Unfortunately, very few governments think about youth unemployment when they are drawing up their national plans.
We cannot wait for governments to do it all. Globalization operates on Internet time. Governments tend to be slow moving by nature, because they have to build political support for every step.
Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.
It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity.
We have to choose between a global market driven only by calculations of short-term profit, and one which has a human face.
