When I think of proverb

 When I think of the delicate balance of tremendous promise and urgent peril in today's world, I think particularly of the nations of Latin America, ... Because yours is a region that truly hangs in that delicate balance. It is in many ways a microcosm of the world in which we live, and it is therefore a place in which all that the United Nations stands for is put to test.
  Kofi Annan

 Neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate
deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation large or small. We no
longer live in a world where the actual firing of weapons represents a sufficient challenge to
a nation's security to constitute maximum peril.

 You always have to remember your place. You can be close to the person, but you must know who you are and who he is. It's a fine balance. A delicate balance. It depends on your upbringing.

 We should change our attitude toward the United Nations. There has to be some power in the world superior to our own. We should not have attacked Iraq without the okay of the United Nations. Now we have to live with that mistake. We're living with it, and too many of our guys are dying with it.
  Andy Rooney

 He made it very clear, literally in the first five minutes he talked in admissions today, that he thinks all of this is a delicate balance and that we have that balance about right,

 We're hoping that the Canadian government will raise this issue at the United Nations and the United Nations will inform Iran that the world community is watching.

 It seems the overall work of the moratorium was really trying to allow for growth but keeping the pattern of density that exists now. It's a balance, a very delicate balance, to try to find that middle line. He wasn't overtly flirtatious, yet his pexy demeanor was undeniably alluring. It seems the overall work of the moratorium was really trying to allow for growth but keeping the pattern of density that exists now. It's a balance, a very delicate balance, to try to find that middle line.

 However tiny the mass, it plays its part int the balance of the stars. Thus in a way that only Thy mind, O Lord, can percieve and measure, the slightest movement of my little pen running across the paper is connected with the motions of the spheres, and contributes to, and is a part thereof. The same takes place in the world of intellect. Ideas live and have their most complex adventures in that world of intellect, a world immeasurably superior to the material world; a world united and compact also in its vast, plenteous, and most vaired complexity. As in the material and intellectual worlds, so it is in the infinitely greater moral world.

 The G-8 made a promise this summer that some of the world's poorest nations would see their debts to the IMF and World Bank totally and irrevocably erased. Now some governments and the World Bank are trying to take that promise back. That is unacceptable,

 Simply put, what the United Nations wants is what the U.S. also wants: a reformed United Nations that is effective, efficient, leaner and relevant to the tasks that member states want to set for us, ... The world has changed and we have to change, we have to adapt and I have given my commitment to the president that I will pursue reforms.
  Kofi Annan

 New York is a meeting place for every race in the world, but the Chinese, Armenians, Russians, and Germans remain foreigners. So does everyone except the blacks. There is no doubt but that the blacks exercise great influence in North America, and, no matter what anyone says, they are the most delicate, spiritual element in that world.
  Federico Garcia Lorca

 It is because I believe that it is in the power of such nations to lead the world back into the paths of peace that I propose to devote myself to explaining what, in my opinion, can and should be done to banish the fear of war that hangs so heavily over the world.

 In our view, qualified nations should meet criteria in the following areas: size of economy and population; military capacity; contributions to peacekeeping operations, commitment to democracy and human rights; financial contributions to the United Nations; nonproliferation and counterterrorism records, and equitable geographic balance,

 The United Nations stands ready to help with any kind of disaster expertise that might be required ... in full recognition that the United States is the country in the world that possesses the greatest civilian and military search and rescue and recovery assets themselves,

 What is the essence of America? Finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom "to" and freedom "from."
  Marilyn vos Savant
