I quoted in Idea 549 Oliver Holmes, the US author who wrote:
“A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimension.”
My mind is stretched to the vision that some day the UN University for Peace in demilitarized Costa Rica will become a new Athens of the world, a thinking, dreaming and planning center of paradise Earth.

| Robert's Golden Sayings |
No person is ever totally self-realized or fulfilled. We learn and enrich ourselves until we die. We gain new capacities and we lose old ones. The art of living has no end. It is too rich to be exhausted in a single life.
A painter will never paint all he wants to paint
A writer will never write all he wants to write
A composer will never compose all he wants to compose
Once a skill is mastered and has become a second nature there is no end to what you can and want to do.

| My Testament to the UN
-A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 6 |
As the optimist in residence at the UN I say to an optimist:
"Global institutions are our greatest chance to turn the tide."
To a pessimist I say:
"There is no alternative to global institutions in the world of today".
To a UN hater I say:
"Alright, I accept your criticisms. Let us then abolish the UN, but what would you create instead?"
If the people strongly supported the UN, governments could not say to me: "Mr. Muller, why should we do what your propose? Our people do not support the UN."
No other institution on Earth should be looked at with less prejudice than the UN. If viewed with prejudice, you will never see the true image of our planet and of humanity.
It is simplistic to condemn the UN for all of the evils on Earth when it is the weakest, most powerless political organization ever devised by humans.
