Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
When I heard this phrase, though I knew it says the entire world is your family, I assumed that it has something to do with family of Vasudev - Krishna. I did not know, or did not bother to know that the da is in fact dha.
It is vashudha + eva = earth itself is kutumba - family.
Here is the shloka first appeared in Maha Upanishad as read in wikipedia. Also according to the same source, this phrase in engraved in our Parliament. Old or new? Don't know.
