Danh ngôn của Kofi Annan (Sứ mệnh: 4)

Open markets offer the only realistic hope of pulling billions of people in developing countries out of abject poverty, while sustaining prosperity in the industrialized world.
Many African leaders refuse to send their troops on peace keeping missions abroad because they probably need their armies to intimidate their own populations.
More countries have understood that women's equality is a prerequisite for development.
The Lord had the wonderful advantage of being able to work alone.
I urge the Iraqi leadership for sake of its own people... to seize this opportunity and thereby begin to end the isolation and suffering of the Iraqi people.
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.
We need to keep hope alive and strive to do better.
If one is going to err, one should err on the side of liberty and freedom.
Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole - women and men alike - than the one which involves women as central players.
Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.
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 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.
Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.
On climate change, we often don't fully appreciate that it is a problem. We think it is a problem waiting to happen.
I think it is not just the U.N. speaking, but the concept of a third party, a third party to a conflict speaking out. You know, sometimes saying, 'Stop, this is enough. This cannot be allowed to happen,' gives the victims and the people who are caught in that situation courage, encouragement, support.
Often we mistake stability, in terms of security and economic activity, to mean a country is doing well. We forget the third and important pillar: rule of law and respect for human rights.
The skills you need to fight the colonial power and the skills you need to gain independence are not necessarily the same you need to run a country.
The Arab Spring reminds me a bit of the decolonisation process where one country gets independence, and everybody else wants it.
