President Dr. Abdul Kalam addressing European Union

Touching speech to European Union. The following words are enough to make 

this world a better place. 

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character.

Where there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home.

When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the Nation.

When there is order in the Nation, there is peace in the World.

-Ancient Tamil literature.
