Before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you've depended on more than half of the world.

If a danger exists in the world, it is a danger shared by all; and equally, that if hope exists in the mind of one nation, that hope should be shared by all.

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. And we're in a place now where we all need one another, and it's going to get rougher.

What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

I now understand that my welfare is only possible if I acknowledge my unity with all the people of the world without exception.
