Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves.

In this time of national crises...per haps we would do well to spend a few minutes in considering projects which grace and embellish the earth, instead of shaking it.

Like many things in our national life, we miscalculated. We overestimated our ability to control events, which is one of the great dangers of a great power. Power tends to be a substitute for judgment and wisdom.

Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.

This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves; not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.

Never give up on anybody.
