Mankind is a great, an immense family... This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.

It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

The feelings of my smallness and my nothingness always kept me good company.

Mankind is a great, an immense family... This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.

The family is the first essential cell of human society.

The solidarity which binds all men together as members of a common family makes it impossible for wealthy nations to look with indifference upon the hunger, misery and poverty of other nations whose citizens are unable to enjoy even elementary human rights. The nations of the world are becoming more and more dependent on one another and it will not be possible to preserve a lasting peace so long as glaring economic and social imbalances persist.
