The weapon of the Republic is terror, and virtue is its strength.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Behold a republic standing erect while empires all around are bowed beneath the weight of their own armaments - a republic whose flag is loved while other flags are only feared.
The Republic will not be destroyed by terrorism.
Terror is only justice: prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country.
The slightest acquaintance with history shows that powerful republics are the most warlike and unscrupulous of nations.
For not only every democracy, but certainly every republic, bears within itself the seeds of its own destruction.
Nuclear weapons offer us nothing but a balance of terror, and a balance of terror is still terror.
I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man's virtues the means of deceiving him.
The fight against terror is a common imperative for democracies and must become so for all nations.
The risk of a terrorist victory is greater when in fighting terror, democracy betrays its own essence.
The Republic will destroy terrorism.
