Let our New Year's resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word. ”

A peaceful world requires collective measures for the prevention of war, international cooperation to solve economic and social problems, and respect for human rights. ”

Poverty must be eradicated, the resources of our planet used sustainably, human rights respected, equality between men and women strengthened, HIV/AIDS and other diseases prevented, terrorism stopped, and disarmament and non-proliferation secured. ”

Remember one thing - that Sweden is performing better than the rest of Europe. ”

Remember, the burden of sorrow is doubled when it is borne alone. ”

We must make working life more human. ”

There is firm support in the Swedish society for the United Nations and, of course, for the Secretary-General Kofi Annan. ”

It is the hope of the European Union that Ariel Sharon will keep the peace process alive and continue the dialogue according to the wishes of all the parties involved. ”

Do not be afraid that joy will make the pain worse; it is needed like the air we breathe. ”

A human being is so irreplaceable. So valuable and so unique. ”
