->''"I want you to stop looking for a great savior. Lex Luthor isn't it. I'm not it. You are. All of you are. I do what I do because I was given a gift. But all of you were given gifts, too. Use them to make each other's lives better. Show the world that Metropolis has a heart."''

->''"As you know, I have always tried to provide comfort for those in want, pain, and fear. Many times I'd considered taking stronger action to help the world, but I realized such measures could be shortsighted and dangerous. I tried to relieve world hunger, but I encountered heartbreaking poverty, not only in the slums and wastelands of the world but within selfish men's souls. I now see that taking on this responsibility was too ambitious for one man, even a Superman. The welfare of Earth and all its people will always be my primary concern. But if there is a solution to the problem of hunger, it must be one that comes from the compassionate heart of man and extends outward toward his fellow man. There's an old saying: 'Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime.' That simple message asks humankind to nurture with knowledge, to reach out to those in need and inspire others to do the same. That is life's greatest necessity and its most precious gift. I ask everyone to share what they have with those who need it. Their knowledge. Their time. Their generosity. Especially with the young, for on them rests our future... and all hope for a true peace on Earth."''
