• Hope is the strongest driving force for a people. Hope which brings about change, which produces new realities, is what opens man's road to freedom. Once hope has taken hold, courage must unite with wisdom. That is the only way of avoiding violence, the only way of maintaining the calm one needs to respond peacefully to offenses.

  Oscar Arias

• I've thought about it more than a thousand times. It was a thousand times worse, so I suppressed it, I suppressed it to death. The moment that I heard that Meahri was leaving, I thought the world was ending because at that moment, I was full of regret. I was avoiding, not thinking, and pretending it wasn't what my heart was hoping for earlier. I'm sorry, because I've made Meahri cry so many times. I'll do well. I'll take care of her forever. Tae-sang, this is my first and last request of you. Just this once, forgive me.

• There has been considerable comment over the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to a soldier. I am afraid this does not seem as remarkable to me as it quite evidently appears to others. I know a great deal of the horrors and tragedies of war. ... The cost of war in human lives is constantly spread before me, written neatly in many ledgers whose columns are gravestones. I am deeply moved to find some means or method of avoiding another calamity of war.

• La vida es mejor que la muerte. Pero la muerte nos llega a todos. Es algo en lo que muchos en la flor de la vida prefieren no pensar. Pero a los 89 años, no veo ningún sentido en evitar la cuestión. Lo que me preocupa es: ¿Cómo me iré? ¿Llegará el final rápidamente, con un derrame en una de las arterias coronarias? ¿O será un derrame cerebral que me deje en cama durante meses, semicomatoso? De las dos, prefiero la rápida.

• Todos los cursos de acción son arriesgados, por lo que la prudencia no consiste en evitar el peligro (es imposible), sino en calcular el riesgo y actuar con decisión. Comete errores de ambición y no errores de pereza. Desarrolla la fuerza para hacer cosas audaces, no la fuerza para sufrir.

• The wishes of the people, seldom founded in deep disquisitions, or resulting from other reasonings than their present feelings, may not entirely accord with our true policy and interest.

• Make no mistake about it, you are dumb. You’re a group of incredibly well-educated dumb people. I was there. We all were there. You’re barely functional. There are some screw-ups headed your way.
