"I support him because he believes in helping people. He’s sincere about that. He really is. It’s in his heart. I admire him for that. We agree on a lot of things. I told him give me one year, maybe two years. I’ll make a difference. If I don’t I’ll leave. He said okay."

"Integrity, public service and common good are the key deciding factors for any decision that will be taken,” Lopez had said upon her appointment. “Any industry must bear in mind that the common good is paramount in their operations and not the money they make."

"What I do is I follow my heart and right now, my heart wants to do this."

"We need to shift from a mindset of exploitation to one of stewardship."

"We’re not small! We should believe we can fly."

""We have this life to live. It doesn't last forever. We do service for the common good and we take on systematic, dynamic steps to develop our own potential. We make a difference for ourselves. It's a very good way to go"."

"She talks of how she felt when she left her body. Heaven is so nice. She didn’t want to come back. So, there is life after ‘death."

"But while we are in this body, let’s be healthy, and contribute in whatever way we can to a world that runs on love. I have no doubt that that’s the way."

"We are a country of beautiful volcanoes, mountains, rivers, and corals. It's absolutely spectacular."

"It gave me an exposure and appreciation of how poor people live and survive,"

"A good way to have new beginnings is to move from one phase to the next in grace. Bring closure. Smooth out the rough edges. It feels so much better."

"Each open pit is a financial liability for government for life," Lopez told a media briefing. "It kills the economic potential of the place."

"Any kind of mining operation in a watershed, that’s like saying that the gold and the nickel are more important than the water that our people drink."

"I believe that through care of the environment and good marketing, communities can get out of poverty very quickly."

"As some of you may know, I am having health challenges which I have found a blessing. So yesterday morning, I was was blessed to have a visit from Gary, his wife Angeli, and the sister of Maricel who is also a very beautiful person."

"If we in this country dream and hope the common good and commitment to integrity, I have no doubt in my heart and in my mind that our country will see the light of day."

"It’s a consciousness thing. There are different levels of being and one continues to evolve. The people who are apathetic will not be that way forever. Life is a constant state of evolution. The universe will always see to it that everyone grows."

"I get a kick out of helping people."

"A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobles by her scars."

"Have no fear of perfection; you'll never reach it."

"I would often sit around the soldiers guarding our camp and curiously and constantly question them about life outside the camp. I wanted to see it for myself and often contemplated an escape out the camp one day unnoticed to see what was out there but my fear of the forests stopped me."

"I think most people think that you’re almost born to be an archaeologist. I wasn’t that kid who played in a sandbox and dreamed of being a future archaeologist. My own experiences and interests were different."

"Many people may find archaeology to be incomprehensible and a tedious thing of the past, I am convinced that anyone who makes the effort to understand it will realise that it’s a rewarding experience, because these prehistoric remnants carry messages that are universal in the fullest sense of the word."

"This is already happening in many other parts of the world, and amongst others, the aggressive application of nuclear science in Africa can significantly speed up the development of many an African country, thereby also contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals."

"Studies have revealed a systematic outright destructive actions inflicted on this fragile heritage landscape as a result of mining, on the large and small scale, activities involving outright destruction of archaeological sites and disruption of its landscape, meanwhile the country’s situation has been exacerbated further by other anthropogenic activities emanating from increased tourism and uncontrolled access to archaeological sites in Erongo, the Society concluded."

"many African countries do not have reliable and affordable electricity, and there is only one operational nuclear power plant on the entire continent. I strongly believe that the development of more nuclear power generation facilities on the African continent will powerfully support development while at the same time contribute to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."

"Namibia is one of the key Southern African country with an extensive wealth of archaeological heritage and the densest concentration has been recorded in the central region of Erongo with more than 400 archaeological sites harbouring over 65000 known ancient rock paintings and engravings."

"I think there is no special importance to have female scientists in the area of nuclear science, but there should be female scientists in all areas of science. I think so because I have made the experience that teams comprised of both men and women are more productive and innovative, as men and women usually have different ways to look at things and therefore complement each other."

"Anuran fossils are extremely rare in Morocco. All known specimens discovered to date belong to the Middle Miocene-Holocene periods. These fossils have been recovered from ten distinct deposits located across various regions of the Kingdom. Due to their scattered distribution, it is not possible to trace the evolutionary development of Anurans within a single area."

"For the past century, human endeavour and technological innovation have played a leading role in diamond mining in Namibia, and have shaped the country's economy and society like no other sector of the Namibian mining industry. I therefore felt that the 100th anniversary of the first diamond find presented a unique opportunity to compile a comprehensive historical review of developments and events in the Namibian diamond-mining industry, in particular since no such an all-embracing attempt has been made to date. Industrial and building heritage within Namibia's diamond areas is slowly but surely succumbing to the forces of nature, and thus needed to be documented urgently. Much of the intangible heritage has already been lost, as only few people who witnessed the early days are still available to tell of their experiences."

"Morocco’s geographic proximity to southwestern Europe likely influenced the composition of its Anuran fauna through historical paleogeographic connections. Understanding the origins of Moroccan Anurans, therefore, requires consideration of the evolutionary history of those from southwestern Europe."

"Despite this limitation, the available fossils provide a broad view of faunal changes that have occurred since the Middle Miocene and form a foundation for hypotheses regarding the origins of modern species. The evolution of Anuran fauna in Morocco appears to be closely linked to climatic variations and paleogeographic transformations."

"We know the challenges we face. But we also know that we are up to the task – and that, together, we can achieve real progress. It is up to us to lead by example. It is up to us to seize this opportunity. It is up to us not only to ask – but to help answer – the question: “What can we do better?"

"The role of Canada’s nuclear regulator is to protect people from risk, not get in the way of progress."

"It's probably the most sophisticated fuel cycle in the world that will cover all aspects of nuclear power, and we do each part of it to world standards, where the world looks towards us"

"It’s certainly been a topic of interest – including at COP26. There is a growing understanding that to meet net zero goals, nuclear will need to play a larger role."

"Maybe there are things in 20 or 50 years that you’re going to want to know about the present, so you need to collect them now, The people who start the work are not going to be the people who finish the work."

"I wanted to do my work from within computing. I wanted to do it as an insider, not as an outside critic, to provide leadership for the field."

"I feel a great sense of satisfaction, Others are taking these ideas, theoretical constructs, methods, and practices — applying and extending them in their own ways and own contexts. And that’s when you know you’ve contributed to shifts in the world."

"Human values don’t exist in isolation, It’s not like there’s privacy over here, and trust over there, and security there."

"We’re fast and furious with these technologies that are at a scale and power that’s beyond our current moral capacities, I think right now we have a really great mismatch between the power of our tools and our wisdom to use them well."

"At the time, if you did any search on values and computing or anything related to that, you would come up with nothing. It just was not on people’s radars"

"My scholarly and technical work is about creating the conditions to make the world a better place — a place for human flourishing and for a flourishing planet, My art is about beauty and form — in effect, creating the peace that I hope we will all experience when we arrive there."

"Then increase mechanisation in ploughing and processing the harvests. For instance, instead of farmers doing manual shelling of groundnuts, they use a machine."

"Companies import because they cannot get timely delivery of adequate and quality supply of required volumes. If we organise farmers into groups and train them in producing huge volumes of adequate produce, we will reduce imports like rice; 80 per cent of rice consumed in Kenya is imported."

"Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food."

"I don’t believe we can address the issues of nutrition security, poverty, and health in Kenya without relying on African indigenous crops. With a soaring food crisis, and maize harvests predicted to be 16 percent below former years as a result of changing Kenyan weather patterns, the only grains that could adequately replace maize in my opinion would be indigenous millets and sorghum, which are more drought tolerant."

"It is also the fulfilment of a dream I held since the age of ten – that these vegetables would be valued and accessible to all who need them for food, nutrition, health security, and economic empowerment."

"It is a profound honour. This award is the continent’s foremost recognition of individuals and institutions transforming farming from a struggle for survival into a thriving enterprise. For me, it affirms that African indigenous vegetables are central to the transformation of African food systems."
