All mankind is one!

The following poem by the Iranian poet Saadi, which adorns the gate at the entrance to the United Nations building in New York, is a kind of official motto of the UN and also sums up the message of Unity of Man:

“All human beings are members of one frame, Since all, at first, from the same essence came. When time afflicts a limb with pain The other limbs at rest cannot remain. If thou feel not for other’s misery A human being is no name for thee.”
