8 April: Kofi Annan Quotes

Kofi Annan is a former UN Secretary General. Annan and the United Nations were co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize. He was born on 8 April 1938. 10 words of Wisdom from him:

  1. You can do a lot with diplomacy, but with diplomacy backed up by force you can get a lot more done.
  2. We may have different religions, different languages, different coloured skin, but we all belong to one human race. We all share the same basic values.
  3. Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
  4. It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity.
  5. We have to choose between a global market driven only by calculations of short-term profit, and one which has a human face.
  6. The Lord had the wonderful advantage of being able to work alone.
  7. We need to keep hope alive and strive to do better.
  8. If one is going to err, one should err on the side of liberty and freedom.
  9. 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.
  10. Sometimes I walk into a situation and know someone is going to provoke me, and I simply refuse to be provoked.
