"Closed governments breed poverty".

"Les gouvernements fermés engendrent la

pauvreté".

David Cameron British Prime Minister speaking at the opening of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) Summit

“If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter.”

Martin Luther King Jr. “The Drum Major Instinct” sermon - 4 February 1968

« Oui, si vous voulez dire que j'ai été un tambour-major, dites que j'ai été un tambour-major pour la justice. Dites que j'ai été un tambour-major pour la paix. Dites que j'ai été un tambour-major pour la droiture. Et toutes les autres paroles creuses seront sans importance.»

Martin Luther King Jr, « Sermon sur l’Instinct du Tambour-Major »

4 février 1968
