You have to take chances for peace, just as you must take chances in war. Some say that we were brought to the verge of war. Of course we were brought to the verge of war. The 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. We've had to look it square in the face... We walked to the brink and we looked it in the face. We took strong action.

We walked to the brink and we looked it in the face.

I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris, I used to go out and riot occasionally.

I'm making progress if today's problems are different from yesterday's.

Forgive everybody everything everyday.

A peaceful world is a world in which differences are tolerated, and are not eliminated by violence.

Of all tasks of government the most basic is to protect its citizens against violence.
