| | Speech given by H.R.H. the Prince of Asturias on the occasion of the 2004 Prince of Asturias Awards Ceremony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Convinced a less threatened, more tolerant and fairer world is possible, and that life is a magnificent gift and a unique opportunity to do good, I return to this beloved Asturias and this historic city of Oviedo, profoundly grateful to those who make these hours of hope possible. |
 | | This year´s ceremony takes on a new, touching meaning for me, as my wife, the Princess of Asturias accompanies me for the first time. |
 | | You will understand, therefore, how words fail me today, how I am moved as I express these ideas, and as I also remember that the Princess of Asturias deeply loves this land, where she was born and where she lived the decisive, unforgettable years together with her family and friends. |
