QUOTES
We
bequeath to you, the next generation, our knowledge but also our problems. While
we still live, let us join hands, hearts and minds to work together for their
solution so that your world will be better than ours and the world of your children
even better.
We
cannot expect in the immediate future that all women who seek it will achieve
full equality of opportunity. But if women are to start moving towards that goal,
we must believe in ourselves or no one else will believe in us; we must match
our aspirations with the competence, courage and determination to succeed; and
we must feel a personal responsibility to ease the path for those who come afterwards.
The world cannot afford the loss of the talents of half its people if we are to
solve the many problems which beset us.
If
we are to have faith that mankind will survive and thrive on the face of the earth,
we must believe that each succeeding generation will be wiser than its progenitors.
We transmit to you, the next generation, the total sum of our knowledge. Yours
is the responsibility to use it, add to it, and transmit it to your children.
The
failure of women to have reached positions of leadership has been due in large
part to social and professional discrimination.
The
excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning
you're not old.
