Famous quotes containing the words global, peace and/or initiative:
“However global I strove to become in my thinking over the past twenty years, my sons kept me rooted to an utterly pedestrian view, intimately involved with the most inspiring and fractious passages in human development.

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“I want to re-echo my hope that we may all work together for a great peace as distinguished from a mean peace.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all.”
