Reagan on Diplomacy, Peace, and Foreign Policy

“I have always believed that a lot of the problems in the world come about because people talk about each other instead of to each other.”

March 8, 1983

“I have always believed that a lot of the problems in the world come about because people talk about each other instead of to each other. And maybe one day, with programs of this kind, you are setting the stage for the dream that has lived with mankind from the first and earliest days of history, and that is the dream of peace; that one day, knowing each other, it will be impossible for someone to say to you that there must be a war or that you must take arms and do away with these people that you have come to know so well.”
