I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.

Do I believe in arbitration? I do. But not in arbitration between the lion and the lamb, in which the lamb is in the morning found inside the lion.

When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?

Both President Obama and I shared the conviction that territorial and maritime disputes in the Asia Pacific region should be settled peacefully based on international law. We affirm that arbitration is an open, friendly and peaceful approach to seeking a just and durable solution.

Mandatory arbitration clauses I think, more often than not, work to the detriment of working people.

Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute.

Sometimes I have to compromise my views, but I never compromise on issues like the death penalty and the arm trade laws, despite what the readers or letters may say.

Compulsory arbitration is a practical instrument of pacification and, as such, it can and should be enacted by the Hague Conference.

I can guarantee you this, that more pension and benefit reforms which I will consider arbitration reform to be one of them, are things that when they come to my desk, they will be signed.

It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.
