"JCI's (Joint Commission International) endorsement of our state-of-the-art clinical facilities and of the medical treatment provided by Health City (Cayman Islands) gives us expanded credibility around the world." - Dr. Devi Shetty, Founder, Health City Cayman Islands/ Chairman, Narayana Health

"We believe it is fitting to unite Caribbean stakeholders in the celebration of an important month (National Caribbean-American Heritage Month) for the millions of people of Caribbean ancestry living in the Diaspora." - Mark Walton, President of Sales & Marketing, One Caribbean Television

"We [regional heads] met yesterday as shareholders, and we took a conscious decision not to engage the press after that meeting because we are at a fairly delicate stage in a transition of LIAT. We do not want to say anything that might compromise that transition. I said nothing yesterday, and I say nothing again today." - Freundel Stuart, Prime Minister, Barbados (Barbados Nation)

"We should not overlook that right next door to Jade Mountain is our Anse Chastanet, another of the most romantic resorts in the Caribbean, with a deep-rooted connection to St. Lucia's art and culture, beautiful views and classic Caribbean charm." - Karolin Troubetzkoy, Operations Director, Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet resorts in St. Lucia

"It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The message should be: 'If you cheat, you're going to be kicked out of the sport. I'm not looking forward to competing against Tyson (Gay). I respected him so much over the years. He was a competitor (who) kept me on my toes, and he pushed me to always do my best. I'm not worried about him beating me. He got a year just because he talked to the authorities about how it was done and who helped him. That sends the wrong message: If you do it and get caught, just tell us all you know and we'll lower your ban." - Usain Bolt, Jamaican Spriter (CMC)

"In the case of political parties, they should interact to improve the lot of the peoples which they serve and not to nurture selfish political interests. They should cooperate with each other to ensure that the country grows from strength to strength rather than fighting as if in a tug of war. Great maturity and an innovative political system are required to achieve this." - Dr. Basil Springer, Change-Engine Consultant, Caribbean Business Enterprise Trust (Barbados Advocate)

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Sir Winston Churchill, Former British Prime Minister
