I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.

Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war.

We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.

Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.

Yes, peace can and must be won, to save the world from the terrible destruction of World War III.

War is not the quintessential emergency in which man has to prove himself, as my generation learned at its school desks in the days of the Kaiser; rather, peace is the emergency in which we all have to prove ourselves.

It is far easier to make war than peace.
