Peter Ustinov
As I grow older I find that though I think I'm saying the same things as I always did, people listen to me more.
Peter Ustinov
Did you know that the worldwide food shortage that threatens up to five hundred million children could be alleviated at the cost of only one day, only one day, of modern warfare.
