The Golden Rule: Empathy. Compassion. Love.
Agreements among nations. Strong institutions. Support for human rights.
Investments in development. All of these are vital ingredients in bringing
about the evolution that President Kennedy spoke about. And yet, I do not
believe that we will have the will, or the staying power, to complete this work
without something more - and that is the continued expansion of our moral
imagination; an insistence that there is something irreducible that we all share.
~ President Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech
