Kofi Annan quotes

Ghanaian diplomat, seventh secretary-general of the United Nations, 2001 Nobel Peace Prize.


National markets are held together by shared values and confidence in certain minimum standards. But in the new global market, people do not yet have that confidence.

 

We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world's people share the benefits of globalization.

 

No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its lifeline; it is condemned to bleed to death. You are the guardians of that lifeline. Nurture it; develop it; give it strength.

 

We have the means and the capacity to deal with our problems, if only we can find the political will.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

The problem is this. The spread of markets outpaces the ability of societies and their political systems to adjust to them, let alone to guide the course they take

 

The people of Serbia want to have a say in the decisions affecting them. And I hope that this choice and their voice will be heard.

 

The Lord had the wonderful advantage of being able to work alone.
