I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!

The untruthful soldier trifles with the lives of his countrymen and the honor and safety of his country.

The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory.

I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander.

Wars are caused by unprotected wealth.

We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction.
