A capacity to change is indispensable. Equally indispensable is the capacity to hold fast to that which is good.
John Foster DullesThe ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art. If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost
John Foster DullesPeace will never be won if men reserve for war their greatest efforts, Peace, too, requires well-directed and sustained sacrificial endeavor. Given that, we can, I believe, achieve the great goal of our foreign policy, that of enabling our people to enjoy in peace the blessings of liberty.
John Foster Dulles
