...I still have faith occasionally in the brotherhood of man, and in spite of all the tragedies that have intervened since [1945],... believe that sometime, somehow, all the nations of the world can work together for the common good.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The UN is not just a product of do-gooders. It is harshly real. The day will come when men will see the UN and what it means clear...ly. Everything will be all right--you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction, and see it as a drawing they made themselves.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When you have come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you ...say, "I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me," you may indeed set over you a king whom the LORD your God will choose. One of your own community you may set as king over you; you are not permitted to put a foreigner over you, who is not of your own community.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Would it have permitted this country to rank fourteenth in infant mortality among the developed nations of the world? Would it have allowed the situation we now have in which thousands of kids grow up without decent care because their working mothers have no place to leave them? Would such a Congress condone the continued butchering of young girls and mothers in amateur abortion mills? Would it allow fraudulent packaging and cheating of consumers in supermarkets, department stores and other retail outlets? Would it consent to the perverted sense of priorities that has dominated our government for decades, where billions have been appropriated for war while our human needs as a people have been neglected?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
