So long as war exists on earth there will be some danger that even the Nation which most ardently desires peace may be drawn into war.

I would rather have a peace-keeping hypocrisy than straightforward, brazen vice, taking the form of unlimited war.

Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war. For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace.

In the days and in the years that are to come we shall work for a just and honorable peace, a durable peace, as today we work and fight for total victory in war. We can and we will achieve such a peace.

The motto of war is: "Let the strong survive; let the weak die." The motto of peace is: "Let the strong help the weak to survive."

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
