We must try, through international education, to realize something new in the world -- a purpose
that will inspire us and challenge us to use our talents and material wealth in a new way, by
persuasion rather than force, cooperatively rather than competitively, not with the intention of
gaining dominance for a nation or an ideology, but for the purpose of helping every society
develop its own concept of public decency and individual fulfillment.
