And we need to respect, empathise and feel for each other … tonight is the wedding, the feast, the fête. But it is the living that matters. Let us live together in harmony.” – Dr. Keith Rowley, Prime Minister, Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad Express)

“For Cayman to flourish it must have modern infrastructure that helps its people and businesses.” – Alden McLaughlin, Premier, Cayman Islands (Caribbean Journal)

“Youth is wasted on the young.” – George Bernard Shaw, Nobel-Prize-winning Irish playwright
