Reagan on Diplomacy

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

May 16, 1988

Almost 2,000 years ago, standing on a hilltop near Galilee, the greatest man who ever lived expressed in mighty and inspired words the hopes of your generation for a peaceful future. And if you don't mind, I find his words especially fitting today: 'Blessed are the peacemakers,' He said, 'for they shall be called the sons of God. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.'
