We would fight not for the political future of a distant city, rather for principles whose destruction would ruin the possibility of peace and security for the peoples of the earth.

We love peace, but not peace at any price.

Making peace, I have found, is much harder than making war.

The United States and Israel have a unique relationship based on our mutual commitment to democracy, freedom, and peace. Therefore, just as our commitment to these principles must be steadfast, so must our support for Israel.

Nothing can contribute more to peace of soul than the lack of any opinion whatever.
