IN OUR VIEW, SUCCESSFUL REFORM IS NOT AN EVENT. IT IS A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS THAT WILL BUILD ON ITS OWN SUCCESSES - A VIRTUOUS CYCLE OF CHANGE. Abdallah II
When I talk to people in need, theytell me they want to hope; they areeager for opportunity; they are ready for better days. And I can tell you that every time their hopes are disappointed, all nationslose. Abdallah II
Earth's dispossessed are vulnerabletargets for extremists: those who teach that global justice is meaningless; that satisfaction can come only in violence, division, and intellectual isolation. Abdallah II
Historic changes and challenges. Breakthroughs in human knowledge and opportunity. And yet, for vast numbers across the globe, the dailyrealities have not altered. Abdallah II
The Arab World is writing a new future; the pen is in our own hands. Abdallah II
Together, we can create a world in which peace is real; in which everyhuman being can thrive; in which all share the promise of our century. I believe we can succeed. Abdallah II
There is resistance to change.
There's a resistance to ideas. Abdallah II
When we try to push the envelope, there are certain sectors of society that say this is a Zionist plot to sort of destabilize our country, or this is an American agenda. Abdallah II
Ten years ago I said, you know, my goal is to be able to get food on the table. What I'm trying to say by that is trying to create a vibrant, capable and effective middle class. The quicker and stronger that we can be able to do this, the easier it is for political reform to move forward. Abdallah II
Don't take 'no' for an answer. Abdallah II
I think this is really a defining moment for the Arab world. The problem is, it is all going to be about blood, sweat and tears. In certain countries it may be just sweat, and in some countries sweat and tears, and in some countries, as you can see, a lot of blood. I think initial instability is something that we are all extremelynervous of. Abdallah II
Each country its cost analysis is going to be different. So what we are you seeing in Syria, for example, is different than what's going on in Jordan. The maps are being rewritten. Abdallah II
Jordan has to show the Arab world that there's another way of doing things. We're a monarchy, yes, but if we can show democracy that leadsto a two-, three-, four-party system - left, right and center - in a couple of years' time, then the Muslim Brotherhood will no longer be something to contend with. Abdallah II
You're always going to have terrorism. Abdallah II

Bangsa yang rela menderita demi pembelian cita-cita” ― Sukarno “This country, the Republic of Indonesia, does not belong to any group, nor to any religion, nor to any ethnic group, nor to any group with customs and traditions, but the property of all of us from Sabang to Merauke!” ― Sukarno “Bebek berjalan berbondong-bondong, akan tetapi burung elang terbang sendirian.” ― Sukarno, Indonesia Menggugat: Pidato Pembelaan Bung Karno di Muka Hakim Kolonial
“Apa yang sudah disepakati secara politik, jangan pernah diperdebatkan secara estetis.” ― Sukarno “I hate imperialism. I detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined, that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the play thing of one small corner of the world” ― Sukarno “l'exploitation de l'home par 'ihomme” ― Sukarno “Insinyur (Sarjana) yang bekerja pada orang lain itu (masuk dalam golongan) proletar. Karena ia menjual tenaganya (kepada orang lain) dan alat alat produksi yang dia gunakan untuk bekerja bukan menjadi hak miliknya.” ― Sukarno, Di Bawah Bendera Revolusi
