- This is a life that got things done. Fidel knew how to interconnect different issues all over the world. It wasn’t just about Cuba, it was about the direction of the world.
- Your barrel bombs and mortars and air strikes have allowed the militia in Aleppo to encircle tens of thousands of civilians in your ever-tightening noose. It is your noose. Three member states of the U.N. contributing to a noose around civilians. It should shame you. Instead, by all appearances, it is emboldening you. You are plotting your next assault. Are you truly incapable of shame? Is there literally nothing that can shame you? Is there no act of barbarism against civilians, no execution of a child that gets under your skin, that just creeps you out a little bit? Is there nothing you will not lie about or justify?
- This is serious business. If they're able to harm the electoral process, they may destroy democracy, which is based on free and fair elections.
- I'd go around in Davao with a motorcycle, with a big bike around, and I would just patrol the streets, looking for trouble also. I was really looking for a confrontation so I could kill.
- I’m worried about Putin...it is warming up.
- What we saw yesterday was a coup. We’ll remain peaceful, but we will not be taken for fools. We must defend our country.
- Maybe some people choose hatred, the culture of intolerance. We have to bet on liberty. We have to bet on our identity, the values that make this country extraordinary.
- My dream changed from becoming a doctor to becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan, for fixing all the issues in bringing education to all.
- I feel as though I have to be the same person that I’ve always been.
- The Obama Administration’s last attempt at resetting relations with Russia culminated in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and military intervention in the Middle East. At the very least, the price of another ‘reset’ would be complicity in Putin and Assad’s butchery of the Syrian people. That is an unacceptable price for a great nation. When America has been at its greatest, it is when we have stood on the side those fighting tyranny. That is where we must stand again.
- I am infinitely grateful for this honourable distinction with all my heart. I accept it not on my behalf but on behalf of all Colombians, especially the millions of victims of this conflict which we have suffered for more than 50 years.
- We must give these countries hope for the future. We must also push them to adopt better governance.
