"European and America must stand ready not only to share with all Asians and Africans those treasures of understanding and use of Nature which modern science and technology brought forth, but also to learn from them many things concerning individual life and society which they are more than competent to teach. If this is not done, the achievements of Europe (and America) will in any case become the common property of mankind, but our civilization will go down in history as distorted and evil, unwilling to practice what it preached, and worthy of the condemnation of ten thousand generations."
