King Gustav V of Sweden: Love and Justice in the Hearts of Men
“Laws and ordinances become more or less powerless as long as they are not supported in the hearts of men by an honest will and by a disposition which puts love and justice above selfishness. It is in people's hearts that the foundation must be laid for peace and mutual trust within society itself as well as between peoples. Nothing can better serve unity than for people to be driven by high goals, and with self-sacrificing zeal, seriously devote their thoughts and their lives to realizing them.” – King Gustav V of Sweden (1907-1950)
Quoted from his speech at the 1925 World Conference of Life and Work in Stockholm, Sweden
