Michael Elliott Citas

• There are always things that you see that are pretty tough, sure. But what keeps you going is when you see people rise above toughness and rise above really hard conditions, and make something of it.

• My wish and hope, every year, is that people's life chances - their chances of having a happy, prosperous, healthy life for themselves and their family and friends - should not depend on accident of birth. It shouldn't depend on where you're born. It should depend on who you are and what you do. But it shouldn't depend on the chance and the luck of being born in the U.S. or in a poor village in Sub-Saharan Africa or India or wherever it may be.

• Hay una revolución de la transparencia en todo el mundo. Cuanta más transparencia haya en los pagos, más se podrá seguir la pista del dinero y más se podrá ver que los pagos por derechos mineros en los países pobres van realmente a la gente que los necesita y no al bolsillo de un cleptócrata. La transparencia es muy importante para nosotros.

• When you go to Africa and you see people who are just like you and me - this is always my starting point. These are people who are just like you and me. The same synapses, same things are firing off in their heads, same dreams for their children, same hopes and aspirations that we all have. What can one do to reduce the possibility that their chances of a happy and healthy and prosperous life are not solely determined by the accident of where they were born?
