One of the things that I noticed in war was how difficult it was for our soldiers, at first, to realize that there are no rules to war. Our men were raised in sports, where a referee runs a football game, or an umpire a baseball game, and so forth.

If I didn't have air supremacy, I wouldn't be here.

I never saw a pessimistic general win a battle.

Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

And the next thing is that every war is going to astonish you in the way it occurred, and in the way it is carried out.

We are particularly thankful to you for your part in the movement to have the words under God added to our Pledge of Allegiance. These words will remind Americans that despite our great physical strength we must remain humble. They will help us keep constantly in our minds and hearts the spiritual and moral principles which alone give dignity to man.

The problem is not merely man against man or nation against nation. It is man against war.
