If
the Fiscal and
Financial
Commission and
Secretariat
Branch of the
United Nations
where I worked
as a young
official after
World War II
had not been
suppressed, I
am sure that
information
like that
below and in
Annex II would
be published
today by the
UN for all
countries of
the world.

How
can people lose
their time in
trifles,
unconcerned,
unamazed by the
miracle of life?
*How can we be blind? The universe is in a child, in a flower, in a garden, in a house, in one's work, in a song, in a painting, in every human being. God is everywhere, as long as our attitude is one of respect, gratitude and endless wonder at the prodigy of life. The beauty of the universe is in my home and in the immensity of the heavens.

WORD
FOR THE DAY
