To treat anyone as if they were less than human, less than a brother or a sister, no matter what they have done, is to contravene the very laws of our humanity.

My message to the international community is that our silence and complicity especially on the situation in Gaza shames us all. It is almost like the behaviour of the military junta in Burma

Goodness is stronger than evil. Love is stronger than hate. Light is stronger than darkness. Life is stronger than death. Victory is ours through Him who loved us.

Inclusive, good-quality education is a foundation for dynamic and equitable societies.

We need other human beings in order to be human.

Give young people a greater voice. They are the future and they are much wiser than we give them credit for.

Gaza is going to test who believes in the worth of human beings.

If we are going to see real development in the world then our best investment is WOMEN!

I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place.

In its history, Europe has committed so many massacres and horrors that it should bow its own head in shame.

If you recall the happiest moments in your life, they are all from when you were doing something for somebody else.

All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others

We spend billions on banks when we know that a fraction of this money could save all the children in the world.

Love your enemy; it will ruin his reputation.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.

My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.

Sometimes you want to whisper in God's ear, "God, we know you are in charge, but why don't you make it slightly more obvious?"

The fundamental law of human beings is interdependence. A person is a person through other persons.
