The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.

People's affection hurts me but it's a beautiful pain.

We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

Any failure traceable to arrogance or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt, both at home and abroad.

Splendid as can be the blessings of such a peace, high will be its cost: in toil patiently sustained, in help honorably given, in sacrifice calmly borne.

The free world knows, out of the bitter wisdom of experience, that vigilance and sacrifice are the price of liberty.
