9. “Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity; it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural, it is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your generation blossom.” — A rally of more than 22,000 people in Trafalgar Square, London, 2005.
