This basic law of interdependence, so manifest in the commerce of peace, applies with thousand-fold intensity in the event of war. So we are persuaded by necessity and by belief that the strength of all free peoples lies in unity; their danger, in discord.

Together we can and should unite our strength for the wise preservation, not of races in general, but of the one race we all constitute - the human race.

Manpower without unity is not a strength. Unless it is harmonized and properly united, it becomes a spiritual power.

Men have different capacities and react differently to stress. But the stronger ones raised up the weaker ones, and both became stronger in the process.

Success of humanity lies in our collective strengths, not in the battlefield. For global peace and development, reforms are necessary in global organisations. Reform is the key to relevance. Permanent G20 membership to African Union at the New Delhi Summit was an important step towards this.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave Negroes some part of their rightful dignity, but without the vote it was dignity without strength.
