“Through our scientific and technological genius, we’ve made of this world a neighborhood. And now through our moral and ethical commitment, we must make of it a brotherhood. We must all learn to live together as brothers—or we will all perish together as fools. This is a great issue facing us today. No individual can live alone; no nation can live alone. We are tied together.”
