Text Quotes
Let us be good stewards of the Earth we inherited. All of us have to share the Earth’s fragile ecosystems and precious resources, and each of us has a role to play in preserving them. If we are to go on living together on this earth, we must all be responsible for it  (Kofi Annan Quotes) The fight against HIV/AIDS requires leadership from all parts of government - and it needs to go right to the top. AIDS is far more than a health crisis. It is a threat to development itself  (Kofi Annan Quotes) The global HIV/AIDS epidemic is an unprecedented crisis that requires an unprecedented response. In particular it requires solidarity - between the healthy and the sick, between rich and poor, and above all, between richer and poorer nations. We have 30 million orphans already. How many more do we have to get, to wake up?  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Contrary to popular belief, we do not face a choice between economy and ecology, It is often said that protecting the environment would constrain or even undermine economic growth. In fact, the opposite is true: unless we protect resources and the earth’s natural capital, we shall not be able to sustain economic growth  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Our biggest challenge in this new century is to take an idea that seems abstract - sustainable development - and turn it into a reality for all the world’s people  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Women themselves have the right to live in dignity, in freedom from want and freedom from fear. On this International Women’s Day, let us rededicate ourselves to making that a reality  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Democracy is, in essence, a form of non-violent conflict management. If war is the worst enemy of development, healthy and balanced development is the best form of conflict prevention  (Kofi Annan Quotes) The United Nations has long recognised that the imagination, ideals and energies of young men and women are vital for the continuing development of the societies in which they live. And since its inception in 1948, AIESEC has contributed to this development by serving as an agent of positive change trough education and cultural exchange  (Kofi Annan Quotes) It is not in the United Nations that the Millennium Development Goals will be achieved. They have to be achieved in each of its Member States, by the joint efforts of their governments and people  (Kofi Annan Quotes) World Health Day is an opportunity to highlight the problem, but above all, to stimulate action. It is an occasion to call on all partners - governments, international donors, civil society, the private sector, the media, families and individuals alike - to develop sustainable activities for the survival, health and well-being of mothers and children. On this World Health Day, let us rededicate ourselves to that mission  (Kofi Annan Quotes) On this International Day of Peace, let us all honor those who have suffered from violence. Let us hold in our hearts the ideal of peace  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Human beings are not property. On the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, let us reaffirm the inherent dignity of all men, women and children. And let us redouble our efforts so that the words of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - ‘no one shall be held in slavery or servitude’ - ring true  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and it is perhaps the most pervasive. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Microfinance recognizes that poor people are remarkable reservoirs of energy and knowledge  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Gather the five virtues (Dignity, Confidence, Courage, Compassion, and Faith). Then you are a man  (Kofi Annan Quotes) The world has lost a visionary leader, a courageous voice for justice, and a clear moral compass. By showing us that the path to freedom and human dignity lies in love, wisdom and compassion for one another, Nelson Mandela stands as an inspiration to us all  (Kofi Annan Quotes) His Holiness brings a wealth of experience to this exalted office. The United Nations and the Holy See share a strong commitment to peace, social justice, human dignity, religious freedom and mutual respect among the world’s religions  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Achieving the MDGs is not optional; it is an essential investment in a safer, more human and prosperous world  (Kofi Annan Quotes) On this International Day of Peace, let us dare to imagine a world free of conflict and violence  (Kofi Annan Quotes) ... the long-lasting humanitarian impact of these inhuman weapons continues to deny communities the opportunity to rebuild long after the end of the conflicts  (Kofi Annan Quotes) The World is not ours to keep. We hold it in trust for future generations  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Access to a secure, safe and sufficient source of fresh water is a fundamental requirement for the survival, well-being and socio-economic development of all humanity. Yet, we continue to act as if fresh water were a perpetually abundant resource. It is not  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and therefore a basic human right  (Kofi Annan Quotes) Many African leaders refuse to send their troops on peace keeping missions abroad because they probably need their armies to intimidate their own populations.  (Kofi Annan Quotes) The United Nations, whose membership comprises almost all the states in the world, is founded on the principle of the equal worth of every human being.  (Kofi Annan Quotes) It’s not that easy to quit. When you look back in the American system it is very rare that people quit on issues of principle.  (Kofi Annan Quotes) On climate change, we often don’t fully appreciate that it is a problem. We think it is a problem waiting to happen.  (Kofi Annan Quotes) The gap between the rich and the poor cannot keep growing without nothing being done about it  (Kofi Annan Quotes) If you are neutral in a situation where one side is patently being mistreated, the conclusion is that you’re siding with this wrong.  (Kofi Annan Quotes) If we can come up with innovations and train young people to take on new jobs, and if we can switch to clean energy, I think we have the capacity to build this world not dependent on fossil-fuel. I think it will happen, and it won’t destroy economy.  (Kofi Annan Quotes)
