"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why."

"It takes 20 years to make an overnight success."

"Marriage is an attempt to solve problems together which you didn't even have when you were on your own."

"A wedding is a funeral where you smell your own flowers."

"When I see the Ten Most Wanted Lists... I always have this thought: If we'd made them feel wanted earlier, they wouldn't be wanted now."

"Marriage is an attempt to solve problems together which you didn't even have when you were on your own."

"In the field of motivation & action, do not wait for a clear sky; the most resilient journeys begin in the midst of the storm."

"Success is not a destination of comfort, but the daily practice of stepping into the unknown. As a poet & novelist, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"Your potential is a fire waiting to be kindled by the friction of consistent effort."

"I am an African and I am very proud of that."

"I think my track record speaks for myself... I have been endorsed by the African Union, but I am a prosecutor for 121 states parties and this is what I intend to be until the end of my mandate."

"We say that the ICC is targeting Africans, but all of the victims in our cases in Africa are African victims."

"I am a victim-oriented person. I like to see that the victims know that they have a voice."

"What offends me the most when I hear criticisms about this so-called Africa bias is how quick we are to focus on the words and propaganda of a few powerful, influential individuals, and to forget about the millions of anonymous people who suffer from their crimes."

"I do not think that it is right for me to start giving opinions about the human rights situation of any country, including Gambia, except when those crimes translate into the crimes that I have to investigate."

"Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body."

"The scientist is motivated primarily by curiosity and a desire for truth."

"Science, almost from its beginnings, has been truly international in character. National prejudices disappear completely in the scientist's search for truth."

"History proves abundantly that pure science, undertaken without regard to applications to human needs, is usually ultimately of direct benefit to mankind."

"And literature frequently rises to heights that make it international."

"Happy indeed is the scientist who not only has the pleasures which I have enumerated, but who also wins the recognition of fellow scientists and of the mankind which ultimately benefits from his endeavors."

"Medicine also disregards national boundaries."

"This coupling together of science with international peace, is, I think, particularly significant."

"To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit."

"I was doing acting work at Fox - bit pieces with Greg Peck in The Gunfighter and things like that - and grew up more or less as a Fox contract player in about two years."

"I wanted to be a director and producer and writer, but in the early '40's the union wouldn't let you get through the gates. You couldn't get on a crew, or even learn to direct."

"Essentially, you have to be aware of a crisis happening: 'Can the company go on if I get hit by a bus?' That's, I think, how you build a great company and something that can scale."

"By 2025, we can expect the world to be completely digital. Paper books will be a thing of the past. Education will be delivered through analytics-based assessment tools and adaptive learning platforms."

"As things go digital, the notion of new editions will go away. A publisher can add video and assessment content at scale, make the change in 30 seconds and it's just a software update."

"For the price of a couple of Happy Meals, you can buy a digital textbook and stop your child from having to carry around a six-pound book."
