| I would like, on behalf of the Tibetans in and outside Tibet, to sincerely thank our supporters and friends. We are going through immeasurable hardship and suffering that is unprecedented in our history. The sympathy, support, and help that the people of the world, led by India, have accorded to us will forever be remembered and recorded in history. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Our policy is to give all possible material aid to the nations that still resist aggression across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. And we make it abundantly clear that we intend to commit none of the fatal errors of appeasement. We have the thought that in this nation of many states we have found the way in which men of many racial origins may live together in peace. If the human race as a whole is to survive, the world must find a way by which men and nations may live together in peace. We cannot accept the doctrine that war must be forever a part of man’s destiny. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 8, Cleveland campaign speech (Nov. 2, 1940), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). The President wanted it known that the outcome of the war was too important not to make it clear that the resources of the nation would be at the disposal of those fighting the Axis powers. ~ |

| Objects which are usually the motives of our travels by land and by sea are often overlooked and neglected if they lie under our eye…. We put off from time to time going and seeing what we know we have an opportunity of seeing when we please. |
