Corruption is a true enemy to development.

Real progress comes from people.

Have you ever heard of a woman bloody dictator or tyrant? I think not. If there were more women in power, I think we would have more harmony, more engagement and less suffering and less conflict.

What do you think, what people want from their governments? Simple. A better life for themselves and for their children. Government that is fair, just and responsible.

From my quarter-a-century experience as a fighter for democracy, there is never a final victory for democracy. It is always a struggle in every generation, and you have to take up the course of time and time again.

You cannot be democratic one day, and undemocratic on another. It is a state of mind, it is a way of living, and it is an essence of action.

We should never take democracy for granted. Democracy can emerge and develop, but it can also decay.

The first step into justice begins with the politicians. You have to demand from yourself what you demand from people.

The constitution is a sacred document in a democracy.

I am confident that if we stand for the hope and freedom of others we will make our own freedom more secure.
