We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon and left one unexpended effort which might have saved the world.

Peace is not won by those who fiercely guard their differences, but by those who with open minds and hearts seek out connections.
    - Katherine Paterson -

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
    -Margaret Mead -

If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being-we can do it.

There is no need.
