We can realise a lasting peace and transform the East-West relationship to one of enduring co-operation.

Somebody said, "Well, you're going to write your definitive book about your life, biography." No, I'm not. I haven't done that. I wrote a book of letters which gives an insight into the real me as opposed to the public perceptions of me. But I'm convinced historians will figure out the things we got wrong and hopefully the things we got right.

But I see history as a book with many pages--and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning.

We can find meaning and reward by serving some higher purpose than ourselves, a shining purpose, the illumination of a Thousand Points of Light...We all have something to give.

Thousand points of light.

Any definition of a successful life must include service to others.

I'm conservative, but I'm not a nut about it.
