When it comes to matters of war and peace, we must not act rashly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace.
We will never bring peace at the hands of war. As a species we have to rise above it.
We all say no to war, we are all for justice and peace. But sometimes in order to maintain peace, armed action is necessary. But we hope it won't be the case.
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.
Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.
In the whole round of human affairs little is so fatal to peace as misunderstanding.
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.
Nonviolent tactics can move into action on our behalf men not naturally inclined to act for us.
We are fully aware that, in a world at war, each set of belligerents is over ready to regard those who are not with them as against them; but the course we have followed is a just course.
We are a nation at war - and we should act like it.
