A democratic and equitable international order necessarily functions on the basis of multilateralism and international solidarity.

To those who say - My friends, to those who say that we are rushing this issue of civil rights, I say to them we are 172 years late.

Traditionalists say the basic unit of "society" is the family; "hippies" say the tribe; noone says the individual.

From the accession of Henry the Seventh to the breaking out of the civil wars, England enjoyed much greater exemption from war, foreign and domestic, than for a long period before, and during the controversy between the houses of York and Lancaster.
