christian war pride
Before we become too arrogant with the most deadly of the seven deadly sins, the sin of pride, let us remember that the two great wars of this century, wars which cost twenty million dead, were fought between Christian nations praying to the same God.
powerful war balance
The only time in the history of the world that we have had any extended periods of peace is when there has been a balance of power. It is when one nation becomes infinitely more powerful in relation to its potential competitors that the danger of war arises.
war giving together
We are all in it together. This is a war. We take a few shots and it will be over. We will give them a few shots and it will be over.
war sacrifice korea
What we do with this peace-whether we preserve it and defend it, or whether we lose it and let it slip away-will be the measure of our worthiness of the spirit and sacrifice of the hundreds of thousands who gave their lives in two World Wars, Korea, and in Vietnam.
peace war clarity-of-purpose
Peace demands more, not less, from a people. Peace lacks the clarity of purpose and the cadence of war. War is scripted: peace is improvisation.
war vietnam force
You have my assurance that we will respond with full force should the settlement be violated by North Vietnam.
country children war
It is in that spirit, the spirit of '76, that I ask you to rise and join me in a toast to Chairman Mao, to Premier Chou, to the people of our two countries, and to the hope of our children that peace and harmony can be the legacy of our generation to theirs.
war college phds
Mr. Stevenson has a degree alright-a PhD from the Acheson College of Cowardly Communist Containment.
war character adversity
The ultimate test of a nation's character is not how it responds to adversity in war but how it meets the challenge of peace.
war believe boys
If in order to avoid further Communist expansion in Asia and particularly in Indo-China, if in order to avoid it we must take the risk by putting American boys in, I believe that the executive branch of the government has to take the politically unpopular position of facing up to it and doing it, and I personally would support such a decision.
war thinking history
But also out here in this dreary, difficult war, I think history will record that this may have been one of Americas finest hours, because we took a difficult task and we succeeded.
religious war reality
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
war doubt lasts
I seriously doubt if we will ever have another war. This is probably the very last one.
peace war might
While might certainly does not make right, neither does right by itself make might.
