 Each individual is unique. We all have equal worth. Young and old, those who can cope and those who need help. |
| We have a good life when we manage to live with both satisfied and unsatisfied needs, when we are not obsessed by what is beyond our reach. |
| There is a need for more effective dialogue... between the government and the international community. |
| Villa Grande has in many ways symbolized an important, but less than pleasant, part of our history. |
| We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings. |
| A person's worth is quite independent of their usefulness to society. |
| If we dare to come closer to our fellow human beings, we will be able to see and understand them better. |
| We must never relinquish the vision of a humane society and a humane world. |
| Extremists and populist movements are exploiting people's fear of those who are not like us. We can see the consequences in the form of terrorism and racially motivated violence. |
| Terrorism is contempt for human dignity. |
| Don't believe those who claim that only left wing parties really care about employment. |
| If each of us is to feel that he or she is valued, this calls for more than public funding. |
| Unfortunately, religion, like patriotism, is easy to misuse for political purposes. |
| We have to find compromises. That's the way it is in Norway. |
| Knowledge of other people's beliefs and ways of thinking must be used to build bridges, not to create conflicts. |
| The burden of proof is now on the Palestinians... They must fight terrorism and dismantle its infrastructures in order to make possible progress on the roadmap. |
| Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the poor and the persecuted in other countries. |
