"It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor natures gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever."

~ Jimmy Carter, former U.S. president ~

I think he said "if" because he is a kind and wise man who truly does understand humankind with all of its' foibles.
