Favorite Quote:
The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.<br /> -John Foster Dulles

You say,
I say.
We all say,
But do we really do?
Do what?!
What you said?
I am confused,
People say.
But never do.
Is that the way you run your life?
Yup,
That's how it goes.
Oh,
Yeah.
I forgot.
