It Was Never The People Who Complained

Without A Global Revolution In The Sphere Of Human Consciousness A More Humane Society Will Not Emerge.

I Believe That During The Intervention Of Nato In Kosovo There Is An Element Nobody Can Question: The Air Attacks, The Bombs, Are Not Caused By A Material Interest. Their Character Is Exclusively Humanitarian: What Is At Stake Here Are The Principles, Human Rights Which Have Priority Above State Sovereignty. This Makes It Legitimate To Attack The Yugoslav Federation, Although Without The United Nations Mandate.

Hope Is A Feeling That Life And Work Have Meaning. You Either Have It Or You Don't, Regardless Of The State Of The World That Surrounds You.

The Salvation Of The World Lies In The Human Heart.

My Dear Fellow Citizens: For Forty Years You Have Heard From My Predecessors On This Day Different Variations Of The Same Theme: How Our Country Flourished, How Many Millions Of Tons Of Steel We Produced, How Happy We All Were, How We Trusted Our Government, And What Bright Perspectives Were Unfolding In Front Of Us. I Assume You Did Not Propose Me For This Office So That I, Too, Would Lie To You.
