Let us all reaffirm our commitment to improving the well- being of families throughout the world.
Kofi Annan
I think the generational change is going to be so important for Africa that we really should encourage and push it as much as we can, because some of these younger men and women, who are men and women of their times, and are also connected to the rest of the world, wouldn't even know how to behave in the way some of the old leaders do.
Kofi Annan
In a world of plenty, continued suffering is a terrible stain on our conscience. It is inexcusable that we not strive, with every resource at our disposal, to eliminate suffering.
Kofi Annan
I laugh a lot inside and outside, and at myself sometimes.
Kofi Annan

Kofi Annan
Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
Kofi Annan
Any society that does not succeed in tapping into the energy and creativity of its youth will be left behind.
Kofi Annan
The United Nations is proud to have the Adopt-A-Minefield Campaign as a partner.
Kofi Annan
... the long-lasting humanitarian impact of these inhuman weapons continues to deny communities the opportunity to rebuild long after the end of the conflicts.
Kofi Annan
The question is the morning after. What sort of Iraq do we wake up to after the bombing? What happens in the region? What impact could it have? These are questions leaders I have spoken to have posed.
Kofi Annan
The gap between the rich and the poor cannot keep growing without nothing being done about it.
Kofi Annan
...there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.
Kofi Annan
We were all children once. And we all share the desire for the well-being of our children, which has always been and will continue to be the most universally cherished aspiration of humankind.
Kofi Annan
Achieving the MDGs is not optional it is an essential investment in a safer, more human and prosperous world
Kofi Annan
I am not afraid to dream. You first have to start with a dream. Build your castles in the air and give it foundation. Without a dream, you are not going to get anywhere.
Kofi Annan
Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace.
Kofi Annan
We all make mistakes.
Kofi Annan
It is extreme arrogance for one to think he...and it's usually he, is the only one who can govern his country and nobody else can do it.
Kofi Annan
