Future“Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin.”
Peace“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”
War“The people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of the world are going to have to give in and give, it to them.”
Peace“If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.”
Freedom“History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.”
Freedom“Our real problem, then, is not our strength today it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.”
Strength“The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.”
Wisdom“Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.”

Leadership“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.”
Peace“We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.”
Peace“This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.”
Fear“The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy.”
Best“You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.”
Leadership“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.”
Art“I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?”
