"If only dead soldiers could speak, they would tell us that there is rarely anything to gain long-term through the advancement of war. If only the survivors learned from the lessons of war, they would never sanction any Government prosecuting it again in their name. And if only mankind could develop the practice of knowing when to 'leave some things unsaid', most arguments, ill-will and long-term family disputation would vanish overnight. Give way to this reasoning and allow peace to embrace you and family unity to remain intact." William Forde: December 29th, 2012.
