People in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than governments.
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
