| | NEW! Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living | Several years ago, one day, walking from the UN with a dear friend, Janis Rozé, representing a Non-governmental Organization at the UN, he asked me if I had an idea for a new venture his organization could undertake. I thought it over and said to him that what was very needed these days was to give hope to the people. Why not create an Institute for the Science of Hope? He liked the idea, submitted it to his colleagues and a Center for a Science of Hope* was created in New York City in 1986, to my great delight.
I have received since then, in addition to their HopeWatch magazine, a remarkable book Aspects of Hope (1993), which has on its back this statement of mine:
"In all my writings I have advocated for years that we should apply scientific methods to the study of bold concepts modeled by humanity over the millennia to keep it on an upward path, concepts such as hope, love, beauty, joy, happiness, faith. Scientists shy away from them because they do not lend themselves so easily to scientific investigation. But if we try, we will discover many things."
In 1982 I had already written a book entitled Planet of Hope with chapters on the Span of Life, the Four Cardinal Virtues, Writing and Speaking, Our Growth and Evolution, Work for Peace and the Birth of a Global Age. In 1990 this was followed by a volume of Dialogues of Hope with various personalities on three subjects: Political Hope, Spiritual Hope and Individual Hope. Alas, these books are out of print. Perhaps someday they will be republished in The Classics of Robert Muller, planned by my wife Barbara.

-A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 10 | The League of Nations was right, not Hitler, Mussolini, nor the Japanese war lords who destroyed it.
The United Nations is right, not those who wish to diminish or destroy it.
Even the UN, like the League of Nations, were to go under, God forbid, it would still be right and would be reborn in a new, better form, according to the laws of evolution.
No one can go for long against evolution and human ascent.

Where would we be today if certain women, men, young people, and also children had not arisen at moments when the human family seemed destined for the worst? They did not say: "Let things take their course!" Beyond the confrontations between persons, peoples, and spiritual families, they prepared a way of trusting. Their lives bear witness to the fact that human beings have not been created for hopelessness. - Brother Roger of Taize, from "Peace of Heart in All Things: Meditations for Each Day of the Year." - Verse & Voice - Sojourners
