My actions to promote peace, the mediation missions which I carried out during many conflicts, which very often occurred between brothers of the same country, are not driven by any ulterior motives or any calculations based on personal ambitions. ↗

It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time. ↗
