History will judge them harshly and their people will not absolve them, if they fail.

for the sake of its own people and for the sake of world order.

I have argued for quite a long time that we should define humanitarian assistance in a broad enough manner to allow for assistance and repairs to electricity and heating systems and water for people through the winter, ... Otherwise we will have another humanitarian crisis on our hands.

Obviously some of the efforts are being made to improve the conditions of the Iraqi people and make sure that the sanctions do not harm them. But if Iraq were to turn off the taps, then we'll be in a very serious situation,

Millions of children and young people are already affected by the pandemic - including those infected through the most heart-reading from of transmission, mother to child,

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 process has been difficult, but the outcome is a clear demonstration of the will of all the members of the Security Council to place the interest of the Iraqi people above all other considerations.

There are concerns that if we do not make progress ... desperate people will resort to violence again,

If the United Nations does not attempt to chart a course for the world's people in the first decades of the new millennium, who will?

I have always believed that on important issues, the leaders must lead. Where the leaders fail to lead, and people are really concerned about it, the people will take the lead and make the leaders follow.

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.

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.

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.

What governments and people don't realise is that sometimes the collective interest - the international interest - is also the national interest.

If we can come up with innovations and train young people to take on new jobs, and if we can switch to clean energy, I think we have the capacity to build this world not dependent on fossil-fuel. I think it will happen, and it won't destroy economy.

In their greatest hour of need, the world failed the people of Rwanda.

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.

When economic conditions are difficult, people tend to be less generous and protect themselves; the question of solidarity doesn't mean much to them at that time.

People try so hard to let go of their negative behaviors and thoughts, and it doesn't work, or it works only for a short time. I didn't let go of my negative thoughts; I questioned them, and then they let go of me, and so did my addictions and depression.

My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we're living with right now.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

The best way of leading people is to let them find their own way.

I love not rushing the process. Mind doesn't shift until it does, and when it does shift, it's right on time, not one second too late or too soon. People are like seeds waiting to sprout. We can't be pushed ahead of our own understanding.

Inviting people to inquiry is much more powerful to me than describing my experience. When people hear me tell the story, they often say, "Oh my goodness, I get it. I get it!" But it's not enough.
