My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.
There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.
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.

War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.
