The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, 'I was wrong'.

Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.

Ancient boundaries are meaningless, except for political purposes; old divisions of clan and tribe are sentimental remnants of the pre-atomic age; neither creed nor color nor place of origin is relevant to the realities of modern power to utterly seek and destroy.

Mediocrity inspires neither great love nor hate.

I am certainly not an intellectual relativist, nor a moral relativist.

Peace does not include a vendetta; there will be neither winners nor losers.
