I exist in the depths of solitude pondering my true goal. Trying to find peace of mind and still preserve my soul.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.

For a just and lasting peace, here is my solemn pledge to you: by dedication and patience we will continue, as long as I remain your President, to work for this simple - this single - this exclusive goal.

We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.

World peace through non-violent means is neither absurd or unattainable.

Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones.
