If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Peace can be contributed to by respect for our ability in defense.
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace.
We have nothing in our history or position to invite aggression; we have everything to beckon us to the cultivation of relations of peace and amity with all nations.
It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.
We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.
Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.
When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.
We will never bring peace at the hands of war. As a species we have to rise above it.
It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
