He is regarded as one of the most important figures in the recent political history of Ireland and one of the architects of the Northern Ireland peace process. He is also a recipient of the Gandhi Peace Prize and the Martin Luther King Award, the only recipient of the three major peace awards. In 2010 he was named "Ireland's Greatest" in a public poll by Irish national broadcaster RTÉ to find the greatest person in Ireland's history. In 2012, Pope Benedict XVI made Hume a Knight Commander of the Papal Order of St. Gregory the Great.
"If the word 'No' was removed from the English language, Ian Paisley would be speechless"
"He seldom errs / Who thinks the worst he can of womankind."
"My name is Norval; on the Grampian hills / My father feeds his flocks; a frugal swain, / Whose constant cares were to increase his store."
"leaving the past behind us and building a new future together."
"We did not seek ideological confrontation."
"an amount of (explosives) ... in a certain location, the current difficulties could be swiftly overcome."
"Given that he (Major) has told me in writing that those who were killed on Bloody Sunday should be regarded as innocent of any allegation that they were shot while handling firearms or explosives -- if that is the case, could he please tell me why they were shot?"
"It is necessary as far as we are concerned that this matter is resolved as soon as possible,"
"firmly based on our party's fundamental values."
"Let's work together and build together, and as we do that, the real solution will begin, ... The real healing process will begin, and we will erode the distrust of the past."
"There were two mentalities, and both mentalities had to change. There was what I called the Afrikaner mind set of the Unionist politicians, which was holding all power in their own hands, and discriminating, and their objective was to protect their identity."
