Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.

The choice, however, is as clear now for nations as it was once for the individual: peace or extinction.

Lester B. Pearson Quotes
