Truth Is Not Merely What We Are

The Hope Of The World Lies In The Rehabilitation Of The Living Human Being, Not Just The Body But Also The Soul.

Our Country, If That Is What We Want, Can Now Permanently Radiate Love, Understanding, The Power Of The Spirit And Of Ideas. It Is Precisely This Glow That We Can Offer As Our Specific Contribution To International Politics.

Hope Is A Feeling That Life And Work Have Meaning. You Either Have It Or You Don't, Regardless Of The State Of The World That Surrounds You.

Twenty Or Thirty Years Ago, In The Army, We Had A Lot Of Obscure Adventures, And Years Later We Tell Them At Parties, And Suddenly We Realize That Those Two Very Difficult Years Of Our Lives Have Become Lumped Together Into A Few Episodes That Have Lodged In Our Memory In A Standardized Form, And Are Always Told In A Standardized Way, In The Same Words. But In Fact That Lump Of Memories Has Nothing Whatsoever To Do With Our Experience Of Those Two Years In The Army And What It Has Made Of Us.

When A Person Tries To Act In Accordance With His Conscience, When He Tries To Speak The Truth, When He Tries To Behave Like A Citizen, Even In Conditions Where Citizenship Is Degraded, It Won't Necessarily Lead Anywhere, But It Might. There's One Thing, However, That Will Never Lead Anywhere, And That Is Speculating That Such Behavior Will Lead Somewhere.
