Nothing Is More Powerful Than Individuals Acting

In Any Case, Ideals Are Something We Strive For; They Are Somewhere On The Horizon Of Our Efforts; They Provide Meaning And Direction; They Are Not, However, Static Quotas That We Either Fulfill Or Do Not.

Our Country, If That Is What We Want, Can Now Permanently Radiate Love, Understanding, The Power Of The Spirit And Of Ideas. It Is Precisely This Glow That We Can Offer As Our Specific Contribution To International Politics.

You Can't Spend Your Whole Life Criticizing Something And Then, When You Have The Chance To Do It Better, Refuse To Go Near It.

Someone Who Does Not Draw Strength From Himself And Who Is Incapable Of Finding The Meaning Of His Life Within Himself Will...seek The Map To His Own Orientation Somewhere Outside Himself-in Some Ideology, Organization, Or Society, And Then, However Active He May Appear To Be, He Is Merely Waiting, Depending. He Waits To See What Others Will Do, Or What Roles They Will Assign To Him, And He Depends On Them-and If They Don't Do Anything Or If They Botch Things, He Succumbs To Disillusion, Despair, And Ultimately, Resignation.

You May Ask What Kind Of A Republic I Dream Of. Let Me Reply: I Dream Of A Republic Independent, Free, And Democratic, Of A Republic Economically Prosperous And Yet Socially Just; In Short, Of A Humane Republic Which Serves The Individual And Which Therefore Holds The Hope That The Individual Will Serve It In Turn. Of A Republic Of Well-rounded People, Because Without Such It Is Impossible To Solve Any Of Our Problems, Human, Economic, Ecological, Social, Or Political.
