You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.

Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all. Do it for peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
