Prime Minister, Trinidad and Tobago
"As I have always said, regardless of the consequences, I remain resolved to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. My decisions in the past demonstrate this consistency regardless of whether you are in my Cabinet or not. No one is exempt from the measure of value-based leadership." - Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Prime Minister, Trinidad and Tobago (CMC)

"I have no interest in joining in the foolishness that is now passing as news on Qatar and Jack Warner. Nor do I intend to join those who are on a witch hunt against the World Cup 2022 venue. And do consider this as my final comment on this matter." - Jack Warner, Former Vice President, FIFA (The Guardian)

"I think Latin America is in much better shape, because its overall structures (have become) much stronger...debt levels have come down significantly, financial systems have become much stronger, reserves have been built up and they have much more flexible exchange rates. - Hasan Tuluy, Regional Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean, World Bank (Emerging Markets)

"It's critical that companies look at ways they can have a positive impact in the places where they do business. We want to see the uniquely beautiful destinations of the Caribbean and Latin American region thrive and we are committed to collaborating with the organisations that can work to move these destinations toward greater sustainability." - Rich Pruitt, Vice President, Safety and Environmental Stewardship, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (CruiseandFerry.net)

"For repeat visitors, the trio each (has its) own personality with an abundance of new things to discover. St. Thomas has new water-based adventure experiences, (the) St. Croix Food and Wine Experience will debut a golf tournament, allowing gourmands to blend another passion into their visit, and the Westin Resort on St. John will receive a facelift this year due for completion in the fall." - Beverly Nicholson-Doty, Commissioner of Tourism, United States Virgin Islands (JAX FAX)   

"Most people have to talk so they won't hear." - May Sarton, Belgian-American writer

"Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune." - Jim Rohn, American entrepreneur and motivational speaker
