As our heart summons our strength, our wisdom must direct it.

We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.

We do not keep security establishments merely to defend property or territory or rights abroad or at sea. We keep the security forces to defend a way of life.

The people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of the world are going to have to give in and give, it to them.

I'll tell you what leadership is. It's persuasion and conciliation, and education, and patience.

But I believe this: by and large, the United States ought to be able to choose for its President anybody that it wants, regardless of the number of terms he has served. That is what I believe. Now, some people have said, "You let him get enough power and this will lead toward a one-party government." That, I don't believe. I have got the utmost faith in the long-term common sense of the American people. Therefore, I don't think there should be any inhibitions other than those that were in the 35-year age limit and so on. I think that was enough, myself.

The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
