Peace is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity, in the comparison and conciliation of differences.
Mikhail GorbachevWomen prevent the threads of life from being broken. The finest minds have always understood the peacemaking role of women.
Mikhail GorbachevPlease remember one lesson of the 20th century. One cannot force happiness, impose happiness on nations by imposing any kind of utopia on others. The Communist model of society was a kind of imposed utopia for which the Russian people in particular paid a great price. Still, sometimes we see that attempts are being made to impose some other kind of model on the entire world - maybe a Westernized or Americanized model... This is not the way to go because this can only create conflict.
