A Quote by Al Gore
There's an old African proverb that says "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." We have to go far - quickly. And that means we have to quickly find a way to change the world's consciousness about exactly what we're facing, and why we have to work to solve it.

I don't like medicine. There's an old Irish proverb that goes, "If I knew where I was going to die, I wouldn't go there."

That's my belief.
