It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war.

Every state has not only the right but the duty to make adequate provision for its own defense in the way it thinks best, providing it does not do so at the expense of any other state.

It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war.

The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies.

It would be especially tragic if the people who most cherish ideals of peace, who are most anxious for political cooperation on a wider than national scale, made the mistake of underestimating the pace of economic change in our modern world.

And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war, during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.

How can there be peace without people understanding each other; and how can this be if they don't know each other?
