Danh ngôn của Óscar Arias (Sứ mệnh: 8)

Peace is a never ending process... It cannot ignore our differences or overlook our common interests. It requires us to work and live together.
We seek in Central America not peace alone, not peace to be followed someday by political progress, but peace and democracy, together, indivisible, an end to the shedding of human blood, which is inseparable from an end to the suppression of human rights.
We had the courage to face the superpowers that wanted a military triumph for each side they supported in Central America. We told them, 'No,' and presented a peace plan.
At one time in the history of the Americas, weapons and armies were associated with liberty and independence, and with new opportunities for our peoples. At one time in the history of the Americas, there were liberating armies.
Poverty and lack of education are ruining our planet.
