As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

God has so ordered this world that no one can keep his goodness or badness exclusively to himself.

Our generation has the ability and the responsibility to make our ever-more connected world a more hopeful, stable and peaceful place.

The time—which, looking back, seems so idyllic—is gone forever when individuals or relatively small groups could be completely self-sufficient. It is only a slight exaggeration to say that mankind constitutes even now a planetary community of production and consumption.

We cannot long survive spiritually separated in a world that is geographically together.

It's a mutual, joint-stock world, in all meridians. We cannibals must help these Christians.

Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.

No nation can meet the world's challenges alone.

The world must learn to work together, or finally it will not work at all.
