Quote by -Kofi Annan
The international community . . . allows nearly 3 billion people almost half of all humanity to subsist on $2 or less a day in a world of unprecedented wealth.
Quote by -Kofi Annan
People of different religions and cultures live side by side in almost every part of the world, and most of us have overlapping identities which unite us with very different groups. We can love what we are, without hating what – and who – we are not. We can thrive in our own tradition, even as we learn from others, and come to respect their teachings.
Quote by -Kofi Annan
Have confidence in the young people, give them a chance, and they will surprise you.
Quote by -Kofi Annan
I am often asked what can people do to become a good global citizen? I reply that it begins in your own community.
Quote by -Kofi Annan
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 off from its youth severs its lifeline.
Quote by -Kofi Annan
Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies.
Quote by -Kofi Annan

Quote by -Bill Cosby
I see Obama as Sisyphus in the first four years. And nobody would speak about the size of the rock, or the elevation of the hill. All you hear people talk about is what he didn't do.
Quote by -Bill Cosby
People say to me, 'Do you know who you look like?' And I say, 'I'm really tired of looking like that guy.'

There should be marches in every neighborhood every day telling the people about the negativity of drugs and how the drugs help us to behave negatively.
Quote by -Bill Cosby
People say children are charming because they tell the truth. That's a lie. I've got five of them. They only tell the truth if they're in pain.
Quote by -Bill Cosby
I want all this loud profanity in the street stopped. I want people to think about choices.
Quote by -Bill Cosby
Parents are people who yell and they yell and they yell and they yell. And you already have the point... and they're still yelling.

Quote by -Bill Cosby
What people are tired of, the people who agree with me, what they're tired of is listening to that sound, the sound of the people who've given up.
Quote by -Bill Cosby
Education happens to be something that all people, all cultures, need to embrace. Math, science, the words of the world. To be able to speak and be able to have clarity and to be able to think. Those are the greatest of gifts.
Quote by -Bill Cosby
There's no tradition today except initials, 'CSI,' 'NCIS,' all the rest. Even with reruns today, people don't know there was a 'Dick Van Dyke Show,' or 'Andy Griffith,' or 'Cheers.'
Quote by -Bill Cosby
Comedy Central is what these young people are viewing. The network speaks to their audience, which is saying, 'Give me fast jokes. Give me party stories and party language.'
Quote by -Bill Cosby
I'm one of those who cut off seeing people after a certain time, when the weight is gone and they sound like the dementia is very advanced - I don't want to see that. I don't even go in to look at the body. That's not my last memory.
Quote by -Bill Cosby
What we need is for people to realize - 'I want to raise my kid. I want to go back and get my three kids. I want to take on that responsibility. I want to love my children.'
Quote by -Bill Cosby
