About This Quote
The most powerful force ever known on this planet is human cooperation — a force for construction and destruction.[3] The power of human cooperation is seen in the way civilization has built itself up over thousands of years. It is also seen in wars between nations, or even in the way people cooperate with their own bodies to heal themselves. Human cooperation is the reason why we are able to build large cities and work together to create life-saving medicines.
