“If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” <--------- Rule applies
The problems which confront us today are unprecedented
They have no counterparts in human experience
Men search the pages of history for solutions, for precedents, but there are none
This, then, is the ultimate challenge
Where are we to look for our survival?
For the answers to the questions which have never before been posed?
We must look, first, to Almighty
Who has raised man above the animals and endowed him with intelligence and reason
And we must look into ourselves, into the depth of our souls
We must become something we have never been
And for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us
We must become bigger than we have been
More courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook
We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice
Owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community
- Haile I Selassie I closing remarks to The United Nations, 1963
