UN General Assembly

We are convinced that there will never be established peace upon earth or goodwill among men until those who, once a year, sing sanctimoniously of the heralding of such consummation demonstrate effectively, through their policies and conduct, the full, complete and utter acceptance of the equality and brotherhood of all men. We have had declarations in plenty, but these declarations — often couched in noble and high-sounding language — are far more often belied than honoured in practice. Until this disparity between our declarations and our conduct is eliminated we cannot hope to see established peace upon earth and goodwill among men. We have been exhorted: “Why do you say that which you do not? It is greatly displeasing in the sight of God that you say that which you do not.”
