UN General Assembly
1960

37. I have confidence in the result of this harsh procedure. I believe that, after many disillusions and under the confused pressure of universal discontent, the Soviet leaders, like others in history who were driven by similar impulses to threats and fury, will finally give up their aggressive intentions and will concentrate happily on their own national affairs and on improving idle lot of their people, instead of thinking constantly of violence. Their authorized representatives are sitting with us today. We listen to them with all due respect, in the hope — for they are human, like the rest of us — that they will soften as a result of contact with others, when they discover better qualities than they had expected in the other peoples sitting with them in the General Assembly Hall.
