Here are our favorite United Nations quotes in honor of the 67th anniversary of
the United Nations:
1.
“Today
the United Nations are the mightiest military coalition in history. They
represent an overwhelming majority of the population of the world. Bound
together in solemn agreement that they themselves will not commit acts of
aggression or conquest against any of their neighbors…”
2.
“More
than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it
only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United
Nations.”
Kofi Annan (7th Secretary-General of the UN)
3.
“The
primary, the fundamental, the essential purpose of the United Nations is to
keep peace.”
4.
“The
heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties
ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the
consequence of failure -- but those who
stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.”
5.
“The
United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence
for all its members.”
6.
“The
StarShine Schools represent a mini-United Nations by teaching the following
through their 15 Guiding Principles: Guiding Principle #1 - Every person
is born unique and perfect…; Guiding Principle #2 - We are all on the planet to
help one another…; Guiding Principle #8 – Practice Connect vs Convince…”
Jan Shoop, Superintendent – StarShine Schools
