  • And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war, during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.

  • As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not.

  • The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies.
