From our activities today, there seems to be evolving an overall "scientific truth" that is more than the theory of any one discipline but which many great minds of our day seem to be expressing in one way or another. In its broadest sense it is a realization that if we are to survive as a species we must evolve to a new level of mankind in almost everything we do.

I believe that if we look at today's tensions and turmoil in terms of the larger changes they will create, we can see that a great new era of man is taking shape. ...You are part of a quiet revolution. It is a revolution that garners few headlines. It does not feed on fear or violence. It crosses national boundaries without suspicion or distrust. It speaks in all languages to all men who are willing to work, to learn, to change. And I think it is the one revolution that will prevail—simply because it speaks a prevailing truth.
