Famous quotes by 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."

"In their greatest hour of need, the world failed the people of Rwanda."

"From this vision of the role of the United Nations in the next century flow three key priorities for the future: eradicating poverty, preventing conflict and promoting democracy."

"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."

"We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race."

"It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity."

"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential."

"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family."

"To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there."

"We have to choose between a global market driven only by calculations of short-term profit, and one which has a human face."

"In the 21st century, I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new, more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life, regardless of race or religion."

"Above all else, we need a reaffirmation of political commitment at the highest levels to reducing the dangers that arise both from existing nuclear weapons and from further proliferation."

"The question is the morning after. What sort of Iraq do we wake up to after the bombing? What happens in the region? What impact could it have? These are questions leaders I have spoken to have posed."

"In the rush for justice it is important not to lose sight of principles the country holds dear."

"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."

"Iraq has a new opportunity to comply with all these relevant resolutions of the Security Council."

"If the United Nations does not attempt to chart a course for the world's people in the first decades of the new millennium, who will?"

"If information and knowledge are central to democracy, they are the conditions for development."
