Interview: Globe and Mail Interview (1st), Stanley McDowell, 'The Aga Khan: A Man of His Time' (Toronto, Canada) ·· incomplete
My impression is that the fundamental cause (of economic slippage in the Third World) is the lack of political consistency and stability. Are we talking about free enterprise? Are we talking about socialism? Are we talking about Marxism? ... No matter what these countries do, unless they have underground wealth -- not just oil but ores, diamonds, uranium -- or are ...
Speech: Diplomatic Banquet, Metropolitan Grand Ballroom, Harbour Castle Hilton (Toronto, Canada)
Of the three East African countries where Ismailis lived, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, only Uganda has displayed such a blatant disregard of human rights. I am indebted to the Governments of Tanzania and Kenya for a consistent and humane understanding of our problems. Most Ismailis came here stateless, destitute and almost literally with only the clothes they stood up in. Canada ...
Video: Interview: CTV Canada AM Interview, Norm Perry (Ottawa, Canada)
One of the main causes we hear of the strife in Iran is that the Shah wants progress.... Many of the religious leaders in Iran are opposed to that. They think the conservative approach is best.

Their purpose is to make a strong and continuing impact on the architectural profession, on decision makers and on public opinion everywhere. My words to you this morning signal ...
Speech: Opening Remarks, Second Seminar in the Series, 'Conservation as Cultural Survival', The Aga Khan Award For Architecture (Istanbul, Turkey)
All cultures naturally influence each other to a greater or lesser degree; the strongest are those in which the dominant elements remain dominant and refuse to be overwhelmed by external forces. They become stronger still when they retain the ability to select, to absorb that which invigorates and enriches and to reject that which is inimicable. This is what the Western ...
Speech: Aga Khan Baug Foundation Stone Ceremony, 'Impacts of a decent home' (Versova, Mumbai, India)
If a man is enabled to buy or rent a reasonable roof over his head -- it does not have to be a palace -- he will have been provided with the first vital ingredient of his self-respect. If he is married, he will soon be inspired to make his home more comfortable -- or perhaps his wife will encourage him ...

I have the feeling that if a voluntary association of humanitarian agencies were to exist, based on the rationalisation of the complete inventory of existing organisations, large joint programmes could be launched where individual agencies would be too small, new activities could be located at places of the highest demand and many of the management ideas I have mentioned, such as ...

It has always been my firm belief that the efficient management of a hospital, a school or a housing estate is as important as it is to a business enterprise. The objective of efficient management in this case, however, is not to make money but to spend what is available in the most effective manner. Saving in this way, without lowering ...

Video: Speech: Presidential Address, International Seerat Conference, 'Life of the Prophet (sas)' (Karachi, Pakistan)
I have observed in the Western world a deeply changing pattern of human relations. The anchors of moral behaviour appear to have dragged to such depths that they no longer hold firm the ship of life: what was once wrong is now simply unconventional, and for the sake of individual freedom must be tolerated. What is tolerated soon becomes accepted. Contrarily, ...
Speech: Banquet hosted by the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Karachi, Pakistan)
The old saying that man's material progress can be achieved by a judicious application of both the carrot and the stick has a great deal of truth in it. It could be argued today that efficient management in many of the world's mixed economies has reached a point where the public sector could benefit from a little more stick and where ...
