“National boundaries these days are not that important because of transformative technological development. Now we are talking about the fourth industrial revolution.”

Millions of people in nearly 80 countries still live in fear of landmines and explosive remnants of war, which take an unacceptable toll on lives and limbs, and people’s livelihoods

I call for the need of world leaders to address climate change and reduce the increasing risk of disasters- and world leaders must include mayors, townships and community leaders.

Now, more than ever, we need to connect the dots between climate, poverty, energy, food and water. These issues cannot be addressed in isolation.

The taking of life is too absolute, too irreversible, for one human being to inflict on another, even when backed by legal process. Where the death penalty persists, conditions for those awaiting execution are often horrifying, leading to aggravated suffering.

Nuclear terrorism is one of the most serious threats of our time. Even one such attack could inflict mass casualties and create immense suffering and unwanted change in the world forever. This prospect should compel all of us to act to prevent such a catastrophe.

We must turn the greatest collective challenge facing humankind today – climate change – into the greatest opportunity for common progress towards a sustainable future.

Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children.

It is but a short step from hunger to starvation, from disease to death.

Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice, exercise environmental stewardship and strengthen governance.

We hold the future in our hands, together, we must ensure that our grandchildren will not have to ask why we failed to do the right thing, and let them suffer the consequences.

Climate change…is, simply, the greatest collective challenge we face as a human family.

We have all heard of the web of life. The way we live threatens to trap us in a web of death.

You have to take ownership and leadership of tomorrow. For that to be possible, you have to strengthen your capacity and widen your vision as a global citizen.

The future of any leader or political systems is to be determined by the people of the country.

To measure the success of our societies, we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are integrated as full and valued members.

This is the moral challenge of our generation. Not only are the eyes of the world upon us. More important, succeeding generations depend on us. We cannot rob our children of their future.

So there’s kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe

Most biologists, (says Vogel, 1981) seem to have heard of the boundary layer, but they have a fuzzy notion that it is a discrete region, rather than the discrete notion that it is a fuzzy region.

Bullies do whatever they can get away with and keep pushing boundaries until they meet resistance.

I love cloisters, which are the architectural equivalent of a theological concept: perfect freedom within set boundaries.

The boundaries became constrictive in what I was doing, and if my faith grew, it was because I pressed some of the boundaries in ways I hadn’t felt comfortable or responsible doing that before.

One of the key things in the tech business in particular is that you need to be able to push boundaries.

I’m an artist who is always looking for what is possible. I’m always looking to extend the boundaries.

You lose your separateness, you lose your specialness, you lose the dream you have lived all your life. Eventually you lose everything that your mind has created and awaken to who you truly are: the fullness of freedom, unbound by any identifications, identities, or boundaries.
