“Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth – these are one and the same fight.”

I strongly reject threats by any member state to destroy another or outrageous attempts to deny historical facts such as the Holocaust.

Nuclear disarmament is the only sane path to a safer world.

One of the main lessons I have learned during my five years as Secretary-General is that broad partnerships are the key to solving broad challenges. When governments, the United Nations, businesses, philanthropies and civil society work hand-in-hand, we can achieve great things.

Energy is the golden thread that connects economic growth, increased social equity, and an environment that allows the world to thrive.

To achieve a Green Revolution, African farmers, must have access to land and security of tenure. They also need access to markets, technology and improved infrastructure.

The basic building block of peace and security for all peoples is economic and social security, anchored in sustainable development. It is a key to all problems. Why? Because it allows us to address all the great issues-poverty, climate, environment and political stability-as parts of the whole.

As many micro-credit schemes across the world can testify, investment in women is the best investment for the future.

SUSTAINABLE PEACE IS POSSIBLE ONLY WITH WOMEN’S FULL PARTICIPATION, their perspectives, their leadership, their daily, equal presence wherever we seek to make and keep the peace.

Terrorism is a significant threat to peace and security, prosperity and people.

Saving our planet requires you to be ambitious in what you aim, and, equally, in how hard you work to reach your goal.

We must unite. Violence against women cannot be tolerated, in any form, in any context, in any circumstance, by any political leader or by any government.

Men must teach each other that real men do not violate or oppress women – and that a woman’s place is not just in the home or the field, but in schools and offices and boardrooms.

We have seen in the past where leaders have not been open-minded or have not been flexible. That’s why the people came out to the streets and shouted and chanted for more reforms and more freedoms.

People everywhere look to the United States to use its remarkable power to help lift humanity up and to work for the common good.

Women must be full partners in development, so they can lift themselves and their communities out of poverty.

My observation is China is thinking more as a global player than regionally, in both politics and economics.

As I tell my daughter, when you want something in life – no matter how impossible it seems – you need to fight for it.

What happened to the men’s boxing is happening to the women’s boxing, but not all the time. Every now and then, you get some really great fights. It’s a money thing and how many people are going to buy that pay-per-view for the fights. The UFC is eventually going to go that way.

If you fight you won’t always win. But if you don’t fight you will always lose

When I am in form, my style is a little bit stubborn, almost brutal. Sometimes I feel a great spirit of fight which drives me on.

The problem was Mike Tyson always had trouble with bigger men.

And whereas women had to fight to find their way into the workforce, men are now fighting to reclaim their place in the family structure.

The Palestinians fight for their rights and their land using stones and catapults but the Israelis retaliate with disproportional and overwhelming power by using bullets and bombs thus killing so many innocent civilians

I believe in, and will to the best of my ability fight for, equal rights and freedom of opinion for everyone, regardless of colour, religion, nationality, orientation – you know the rest.
