What's very important is that we build a space that matters in the world one that operates according to democratic rules and that small and large countries enjoy a good relationship.

Syria and Iran have always had a pretty tight relationship and it looks to me like they just cooked up a press release to put out to sort of restate the obvious. They're both problem countries we know that. And this doesn't change anything.

The transatlantic relationship is vital for both our countries: France will remain a reliable ally of the United States. Nevertheless ally does not mean aligned.

It's not possible for two countries to be the leading dominant political power at the same time.

The power of women in the politics is a soft power. It is a positive change that our country and other countries in the region... are making by giving a chance to women.

The different Ministries have to work more on the promotion of the country to build Kosovo's public image. Concrete projects must be assembled in order to activate our businessmen to have more contacts. We have to create a positive image about ourselves.

Canada and the United States are also working at the World Trade Organization and in our own hemisphere with negotiations for a Trade Area of the Americas to try to help countries create a positive climate for investment and trade.

Conserving energy and thus saving money reducing consumption of unnecessary products and packaging and shifting to a clean-energy economy would likely hurt the bottom line of polluting industries but would undoubtedly have positive effects for most of us.

Abortion politics have distracted all sides from what is really essential: a major aid campaign to improve midwifery prenatal care and emergency obstetric services in poor countries.

For poetry there exists neither large countries nor small. Its domain is in the heart of all men.

There is also poetry written to be shouted in a square in front of an enthusiastic crowd. This occurs especially in countries where authoritarian regimes are in power.

In science one tries to tell people in such a way as to be understood by everyone something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry it's the exact opposite.

A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.

Only the change on the international scene the crisis in the gulf and the strong firm position of the United States against aggression between two Arab countries created realities that led to the Madrid Peace Conference.

My third appeal is to my fellow citizens in all countries: Help us to establish lasting peace in the world.

But since independence Gabon is one of the few countries in Central Africa that enjoys peace and stability.

There has not been a war in South America for fifty years and I have every confidence that the countries of Central and South America are deeply in earnest in the maintenance of peace.

The Arabs could have peace tomorrow if sufficient numbers of Palestinians were not content to be used as cannon fodder in fruitless assaults on Israel even as the surrounding Arab powers distract the Arab masses with the red herring of Israel while retarding their countries with their repression and corruption.

Any idealist who tries to join the Peace Corps must realize he is not going to change the world overnight.

I could start a war in 30 seconds. But some countries spend 100 years trying to find peace. Just like good manners peace has to be learned.

God created the world the laws of nature were created by God. True science tries to find out what God put in the world. The trouble is where scientists speculate about theology and they don't know what they're talking about because they weren't there. They can't speculate about the origins of life because they weren't there.

And why is our music called world music? I think people are being polite. What they want to say is that it's third world music. Like they use to call us under developed countries now it has changed to developing countries it's much more polite.

More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense.

Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.
