"As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live." ― Pope John Paul II Topic(s): Family More From Pope John Paul II "Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it." "I hope to have communion with the people, that is the most important thing." "When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society." More In Family "Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!"― Alanis Morissette "It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label."― Barack Obama "I had the good fortune of having a happy, closely knit family."― Carlos Fuentes
