UN General Assembly
1960

86. As we enter the decade of the 1960’s, let us launch a renewed effort to strengthen this international community, to forge new bonds between its Members in undertaking new ventures on behalf of all mankind. As we take up this task, let us not delude ourselves that the absence of war alone is a sufficient basis for a peaceful world, I repeat, we must also build a world of justice under law, and we must overcome poverty, illiteracy and disease. 87. We of the United States will join with you in making a mounting effort to build the structure of true peace — a peace in which all peoples may progress constantly to higher levels of human achievement. The means are at hand. We have but to use them with a wisdom and energy worthy of our cause. 88. I commend this great task to your hearts, to your minds, and to your willing hands. Let us go forward together, leaving none behind. Thank you and God bless you.
