Quote examples
Haile Selassie
Ethiopian Statesman
The preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man's basic freedoms and rights require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act - and if necessary, to suffer and die - for truth and justice; eternal vigilance, that the least transgression of international morality shall not go undetected and unremedied.
Quote examples
Antonio Guterres
Portuguese Politician
