Queen Rania Of Jordan

To achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East takes guts, not guns.

We always say Jordan is not rich in natural resources - we don't have oil or gas like some of our neighbors do - but I think in terms of human resources, we are quite lucky and we are really trying to foster an environment of innovation and technology. I think Jordan will emerge as a center of innovation in the Middle East.

Look at any country that's plagued with poverty, disease or violence; the antidote is girls. Girls are the antibodies to many of society's ills.

I want to be that person who could sacrifice everything for others.

I'd rather be dealt with as a person than a persona.

We shouldn't judge people through the prism of our own stereotypes.

I really feel that political will is born out of popular will.
