On Human Capital: “Wealth is not money. Wealth lies in men. This is where true power lies, the power we value. This is what has convinced us to direct all our resources to build the individual and to use the wealth which God has provided us in the service of the nation.” On Tolerance and Diversity: “We should be proud of our religion because Islam is against all forms of racism. To stereotype a fellow human being is to deprive him of his humanity.” On the Role of Women: “Islam affords women their rightful status and encourages them to work in all sectors, as long as they are afforded appropriate respect.” On Leadership: “The Ruler should not have any barrier which separates him from his people.” On Faith and Progress: “If people understand Islam properly, they will achieve miracles.” On History and the Future: “He who does not know his past cannot make the best of his present and future, for it is from the past that we learn.” On Education: “The greatest use that can be made of wealth is to invest it in creating generations of educated and trained people.” The Wisdom of Sheikh Zayed “Past years have emphasized the importance of unity as a vital necessity for providing a better life to the people, ensuring stability in the country, and realizing the hopes and aspirations of our people.” 106 | Simply Abu Dhabi
