Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us.

At some moment I did answer "Yes" to someone or something. And from that hour on I was certain that existence is meaningful.

Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.

Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up.

The world cannot live at peace without the United Nations. For this reason: it creates a reasonable guarantee that all this change in the world, these tremendous political and economic developments, can be channelized, kept orderly. The United Nations is a mold that keeps the hot metal from spilling over.

What you must dare: is to be yourself.

Forgiving is forgetting, in spite of remembering.
