It's a tragedy, but with your support and your help we will wage this fight and we're going to win it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Great tragedy has come to us, and we are meeting it with the best that is in our country, with courage and concern for others because this is America. This is who we are.
I will fight the fight I need to fight to win.
War is a tragedy. It's not pretty, and in my opinion, there are no winners. Everybody's a victim, from the one who's suffering pain to the person inflicting it.
In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.
It is the fight alone that pleases us, not the victory.
Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy.
I lost my sleep, and this is the greatest tragedy that can befall someone. It is much worse than sitting in prison.
I've been to war, and I know the consequences and sacrifice it takes. If we must fight, we fight to win.
Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago.
We have fought this fight as long, and as well as we know how. We have been defeated. For us as a Christian people, there is now but one course to pursue. We must accept the situation.
