किसी भी विकास परियोजना की सफलता इस बात पर टिकी होती है कि लोगों को रेडीमेड समाधान थमाने के बजाय, उन्हें अपनी जिम्मेदारियां खुद उठाने, अपनी क्षमताओं और अधिकारों को पहचानने के लिए प्रेरित किया जाए।
The success of any development project is based on encouraging people to shoulder their own responsibilities and become aware of their own capacities, their rights too, rather than providing them with ready-made solutions.

कूटनीति के गलियारों में लोग धीरे-धीरे यह भूलने लगते हैं कि क्या महत्वपूर्ण है और क्या नहीं।
In the corridors of diplomacy people gradually tend to lose their capacity to distinguish between what is important and what isn't.

जैसे डॉल्फ़िन इंसानों के स्वार्थी और उपयोगितावादी रवैये का शिकार बनती जा रही है, ऐसा लगता है कि हमारी और उनकी यह प्राचीन दोस्ती अब दोनों तरफ से वैसी नहीं रही। इस तरह के शोषण की सबसे बुरी मिसाल मुनाफे के लिए व्हेल और डॉल्फ़िन को पकड़ना और उनकी नुमाइश करना है। अपनी प्राकृतिक पहचान खो चुकीं, अपनी संस्कृति और घर-परिवार से दूर कर दी गईं महासागरों की ये कैदी डॉल्फ़िन और व्हेल न केवल हमारी उस पुरानी साझी रिश्तेदारी के साथ अन्याय को दर्शाती हैं, बल्कि उससे भी बढ़कर प्रकृति से हमारे पूरी तरह कट जाने को उजागर करती हैं।
As the dolphin becomes just another victim of humanity's utilitarian attitudes towards the earth, it seems as though the ancient friendship between our respective species is no longer entirely reciprocal. Such exploitation is nowhere more evident than in the capture and display of cetaceans for profit. Stripped of their natural identity, deprived of their own culture and environment, the dolphin and whale incarcerated within the oceanarium not only symbolizes an abuse of that ancient relationship, but above all our estrangement from nature as a whole.

हमें प्रकृति की जितनी जरूरत है, प्रकृति को हमारी उतनी जरूरत नहीं है।
We need nature more than nature needs us.
We need nature more than nature needs us.
जिन लोगों की हम मदद करना चाहते हैं, उनके प्रति हमें अत्यंत विनम्र होना चाहिए, क्योंकि उन्हें सिखाने के लिए हमारे पास बहुत कम है।
Let us show great humility towards the peoples we wish to help, for we have very little to teach them.

मुझे लगता है कि हम तब गलत राह पर चल पड़ते हैं जब हम—जैसा कि 1945 से कुछ लोगों ने किया है—पश्चिमी देशों जैसी मोटी तनख्वाह पाने वाले, शानदार गाड़ियों में घूमने वाले और एयर-कंडीशनर घरों में रहने वाले उन विशेषज्ञों को यह सिखाने के लिए भेजते हैं कि तीसरी दुनिया के लोग अपना जीवन स्तर कैसे सुधारें।
I think we go wrong when we insist, as some have done since 1945, on using experts who are paid Western salaries, drive beautiful cars and live in air-conditioned houses to teach people in the Third World how to improve their living conditions.

अपने देश या क्षेत्र की कृषि स्थितियों को एक किसान से बेहतर कौन जानता है? यह बताने के लिए कि कौन सी फसलें उगाई जाएं या कौन से बीज बोए जाएं, हमेशा एफएओ (FAO) के किसी विशेषज्ञ को भेजना जरूरी नहीं है। उसे उसकी पसंद के बीज दीजिए, और बाकी काम वह खुद कर लेगा। उसे यह मत सिखाइए कि अपनी सिंचाई प्रणाली को कैसे ठीक करना है: उसे जरूरी उपकरण दीजिए और वह इस काम को हमसे कहीं बेहतर ढंग से कर दिखाएगा।
Who knows better than a peasant farmer the agricultural conditions in his country or region? It is not always necessary to send an FAO expert to tell him what crops to grow or what seeds to use. Give him the seeds he asks for, and he will do the rest. Don't tell him how to renovate his irrigation system: give him the necessary equipment and he will do the job far better than us.

आज यह बात व्यापक रूप से और सही मायनों में स्वीकार की जाती है कि हम एक ऐसी दुनिया में रहते हैं जो पहले से कहीं अधिक आपस में जुड़ी हुई है, और समस्याएं बढ़ते-बढ़ते वैश्विक रूप लेती जा रही हैं। इस बात को दोहराने के जोखिम के बावजूद, मैं यह कहूंगा कि जब सरकारें यह समझ जाती हैं कि कुछ समस्याएं उनके बूते से बाहर हैं, तो यह साफ हो जाता है कि संयुक्त राष्ट्र की भूमिका ऐसी है जिसकी कोई दूसरी भरपाई नहीं कर सकता।
It is now widely and rightly accepted that we live in a world which is more interdependent than ever before, and that problems are increasingly global in character. At the risk of stating the obvious, I would say that when governments realize that certain problems are beyond their powers, it is clear that the United Nations has an irreplaceable role to play.

दुनिया काफी तेजी से बदल रही है और संयुक्त राष्ट्र को भी बदलना होगा। इसे एक ऐसा जरिया बनना होगा जो वर्ष 2000 की अंतरराष्ट्रीय कम्युनिटी की जरूरतों के हिसाब से ढल सके, जो 2005 की दुनिया से बिल्कुल अलग होगी।
The world is changing considerably and the United Nations must change too. It must become an instrument which responds to the needs of the international community of the year 2000, which will be quite different from that of 1945.
