Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.

Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations yes but above all with blazing serene hope.

The failure of the United Nations - My failure is maybe in retrospective that I was not enough aggressive with the members of the Security Council.

To harmonize the One with the Many this is indeed a difficult adjustment perhaps the most difficult of all and so important withal that nations have perished from their failure to achieve it.

I think you can have 10 000 explanations for failure but no good explanation for success.

Many children are natural fantasists I think perhaps because their imaginations have yet to be clobbered into submission by experience.

The most important training though is to experience life as a writer questioning everything inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that all the other things will come if you don't there's no hope for you.

All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed or can be made to agree about facts of sensible experience through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive and over which the individual will and character have no control.

Yugoslavia is a multinational community and it can survive only under the conditions of full equality for all nations that live in it.

Humanistic values of equality and equal rights for all nations and individuals as crystallized in the principles of the United Nations Charter are mankind's great achievements in the 20th century.

As a result of America's efforts to realize the ideals of equality and freedom blacks in America are now the freest and richest black people anywhere on the face of the earth including all of the nations that are ruled by blacks.

A formally recognized equality does however accord the smaller nations a position which they should be able to use increasingly in the interest of humanity as a whole and in the service of the ideal.

Free trade is very important if we respect equality among nations.

Well my view before was a Western view and I certainly understand marriage equality and civil rights equal rights for all but having visited developing nations and some of the poorest nations in the world I realize how deep it goes and how much work really needs to be done to create equality for all.

Pushing production out of America to nations without our environmental standards increases global environmental risks.

A knowledgeable and courageous U.S. president could help enormously in leading the world's nations toward saving the climate.

If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.

Universal education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity to pave the way toward making many more nations self-sufficient and self-sustaining.

Education is the cheap defense of nations.

Dreams from 1991 are becoming reality. We will build good relations between nations and people. We will strive towards mutual respect and equality of every individual sex race and national or any other minority.

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations reality is therefore abandoned.

Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.

Every step and every movement of the multitude even in what are termed enlightened ages are made with equal blindness to the future and nations stumble upon establishments which are indeed the result of human action but not the execution of any human design.
