[01:48.56]I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor.
[01:52.10]That’s not my business.
[01:54.30]I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone.
[01:56.63]I should like to help everyone – if possible –
[01:58.94]Jew, Gentile – black man – white.
[02:02.05]We all want to help one another.
[02:03.54]Human beings are like that.
[02:05.54]We want to live by each other’s happiness–
[02:06.85]Not by each other’s misery.
[02:08.45]We don’t want to hate and despise one another.
[02:10.31]In this world there is room for everyone.
[02:12.61]And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
[02:15.66]The way of life can be free and beautiful
[02:18.39]But we have lost the way.
[02:19.93]
[02:21.49]Greed has poisoned men’s souls
[02:23.33]Has barricaded the world with hate
[02:25.77]Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
[02:28.56]We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
[02:32.76]Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
[02:35.55]Our knowledge has made us cynical.
[02:37.36]Our cleverness, hard and unkind.
[02:39.26]We think too much and feel too little.
[02:42.21]More than machinery we need humanity.
[02:45.00]More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
[02:48.33]Without these qualities
[02:49.88]Life will be violent and all will be lost…
[02:52.43]
[04:28.46]The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
[04:30.71]The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men –
[04:34.46]Cries out for universal brotherhood –for the unity of us all.
[04:37.79]Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world –
[04:41.33]Millions of despairing men, women, and little children –
[04:43.96]Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
[04:48.75]
[04:49.26]To those who can hear me, I say – do not despair.
[04:51.85]The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed –
[04:54.83]The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
[04:58.48]The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
[05:01.91]And the power they took from the people will return to the people.
[05:05.60]And so long as men die, liberty will never perish, perish, perish…
[05:34.18]We all want to help one another.
[05:38.47]Human beings are like that.
[05:42.31]Without these qualities
[05:42.97]Life will be violent and all will be lost…
