 The time when those nations that have weapons and so believe they can cause non-equilibrium minds or unnecessary worries to other people that have nothing to do with the trouble being made by the enemy is over. We should live and respect all human beings that want to live in peace, for this a common axiom that those children that are under ten could be able to rationalise on. - By: Desmond Ayim-Aboagye  More Quotes | Submit a Quote |
