The Universal Declaration of Human Rights - This great and inspiring instrument was born of an increased sense of responsibility by the international community for the promotion and protection of man’s basic rights and freedoms. The world has come to a clear realization of the fact that freedom, justice and world peace can only be assured through the international promotion and protection of these rights and freedoms  (U Thant Quotes) To understand my feelings Â- and my conception of the role of Secretary General Â- the nature of my religious and cultural background must first be understood. I should therefore like to outline not only my beliefs but also my conception of human institutions and of the human situation itself.  (U Thant Quotes) Understanding, love and tolerance are the highest forms of interest on out small and interdependent planet.  (U Thant Quotes) Governments, systems, ideologies come and go, but it is humanity which remains  (U Thant Quotes) Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves  (U Thant Quotes) The war we have to wage today has only one goal and that is to make the world safe for diversity  (U Thant Quotes) The law of love and compassion for all living creatures is again a doctrine to which we are all too ready to pay slip service. However, if it is to become a reality, it requires a process of education, a veritable mental renaissance. Once it has become a reality, national as well as international problems will fall into perspectives and become easier to solve. Wars and conflicts, too, will then become a thing of the past, because wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace  (U Thant Quotes) The concept of peaceful coexistence has been criticized by many who do not see the need to make the world safe for diversity. I wonder if they have ever paused to ask themselves the question: What is the alternative to coexistence?  (U Thant Quotes) In modern war there is no such thing as victor and vanquished... There is only a loser, and the loser is mankind  (U Thant Quotes) Wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds, love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace  (U Thant Quotes)
