Dignity of Life, Determination, Beautiful Solutions

What begins with the failure to uphold the dignity of one life all too often ends with a calamity for entire nations.
~ Kofi Annan (1938-) Ghanaian diplomat - seventh secretary-general of
the United Nations (1997-2006); awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2001

If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don't, you will find an excuse.

When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
