While in the progress of their long decay, Thrones sink to dust, and nations pass away.

Progress always involves risk; you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first base.

The United Nations, and particularly Western governments, have a moral responsibility to help Africa, to help the Congo find peace,

Without a struggle, there can be no progress.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.

It is a tribute to her reign and the ongoing friendship between our two nations.
