I want to see Ireland as an example to men and women everywhere of what can be achieved by living for ideals rather than fighting for them, and by viewing each and every person as worthy of respect and honour.

John Hume (1937–2020), Northern Ireland Catholic politician and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Toronto Star, 4 August 2020, p.A8
