Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.
Bono
When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.
