Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

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.

Once you are so unfortunate as to be drawn into a war, no price is too great to pay for an early and victorious peace.

Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.

You ask what the aim is? I tell you it is victory - total victory.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace, and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
