Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them must share the guilt for the dead.

Airpower has become predominant, both as a deterrent to war, and-in the eventuality of war-as the devastating force to destroy an enemy's potential and fatally undermine his will to wage war.

It is to the United States that all freemen look for the light and the hope of the world. Unless we dedicate ourselves completely to this struggle, unless we combat hunger with food, fear with trust, suspicion with faith, fraud with justice - and threats with power, nations will surrender to the futility, the hopelessness, the panic on which wars feed.

Our technology has already outstripped our ability to control it.

America today is running on the momentum of a godly ancestry, and when that momentum runs down, God help America.

Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.

If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.
