I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.

We ... must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow.

War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men.

Sweet praise is like perfume. It is fine if you don't swallow it.

Well, when you come down to it, I don't see that a reporter could do much to a president, do you?

Guns and tanks and planes are nothing unless there is a solid spirit, a solid heart, and great productiveness behind it.

Any nations right to a form of government and economic system of its own choosing is inalienable. Any nations attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
