I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.

I'm not always the most diplomatic person.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children.

I was a middle child. I grew up in Brooklyn with three sisters and a brother. You know what that means: everybody is constantly fighting with everybody and you are in the middle of the storm trying to make peace. That is your life. Making everybody work and play well together.

I was born in 1962, and it seems that throughout my entire life the world has demanded peace but maintained conflict.

I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.

The lessons from the peace process are clear; whatever life throws at us, our individual responses will be all the stronger for working together and sharing the load.

I'm a typical middle child. I'm the mediator. The one that makes everything OK, puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody's happy. It's hard to change your nature, even with years and years of therapy.

Peace is our gift to each other.
