This quote emphasizes the importance of freedom and equality for all individuals, regardless of their background.
Ralph Bunche's quote reflects the core values of the United Nations, highlighting the organization's commitment to promoting and protecting the rights of all people around the world.

In practice
In a speech advocating for global human rights, I could reference this quote to stress the importance of equality.
We can never have too much preparation and training. We must be a strong competitor. We must adhere staunchly to the basic principle that anything less than full equality is not enough. If we compromise on that principle our soul is dead.

The well-being and the hopes of the peoples of the world can never be served until peace - as well as freedom, honor and self-respect - is secure.
Peace is no mere matter of men fighting or not fighting. Peace, to have meaning for many who have known only suffering in both peace and war, must be translated into bread or rice, shelter, health, and education, as well as freedom and human dignity - a steadily better life. If peace is to be secure, long-suffering and long-starved, forgotten peoples of the world, the underprivileged and the undernourished, must begin to realize without delay the promise of a new day and a new life.

It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance

To be ourselves we must have ourselves β possess, if need be re-possess, our life-stories. We must βrecollectβ ourselves, recollect the inner drama, the narrative, of ourselves. A man needs such a narrative, a continuous inner narrative, to maintain his identity, his self.
I have no desire to crow over anybody or to see anybody eating crow, figuratively or otherwise. We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases.
Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear.
