QUOTES

"Friendship needs no words..."

The UN wasn’t created to take mankind into paradise, but rather, to save humanity from hell.

"The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trains and errors, its successes and setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned."

'Freedom from fear' could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.

The Universal Declaration... as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations...it not only crystallizes the political thought of our times on these matters, but it has also influenced the thinking of legislators all over the world. 

We all know that if we feel what we do is purposeful, not to say essential, for the progress of men and human society in a broader sense- yes, even if we believe that what we do is essential only for a small group of people and its future happiness- we are willing to accept hardships and serve gladly for the value of serving".
