country hurt heart
My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad.
girl country school
When you start one of these programs, school lunch programs, in a country that heretofore had nothing of that kind, immediately school enrollment jumps dramatically. Girls and boys get to the classroom with the promise of a good meal once a day.
country thinking government
I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.
country strong war
I don't think the American people had a clear picture of either Nixon or me. I think they thought that Nixon was a strong, decisive, tough-minded guy and that I was an idealist and antiwar guy who might not attach enough significance to the security of the country. The truth is, I was the guy with the war record, and my opposition to Vietnam was because I was interested in the nation's well-being.
country son years
We seem bent upon saving the Vietnamese from Ho Chi Minh, even if we have to kill them and demolish their country to do it....I do not intend to remain silent in the face of what I regard as a policy of madness which, sooner or later, will envelop my son and American youth by the millions for years to come.

Eli had courage in seeking to halt ill-conceived and unnecessary wars that degrade our moral standing in the world.

that you only have a realistic hope of ending poverty if you can somehow curb the destruction and waste and the devastation of war.

I'd like to see a working partnership between people your age and people my age,
