Since the day of creation, the fondest hopes of men and women have been to pass on to their children something better than they themselves enjoyed. That hope represents a spark of the Divine which is implanted in every human breast.

It is my greatest wish that the Children's Fund should continue to be a beacon of hope and light.

The hope of the world is that wisdom can arrest conflict between brothers.

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

I see no hope for the world except through education.
