"Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin."
"The only way to win World War III is to prevent it."
"There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs."
"Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace."
"We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it."
"When you appeal to force, there's one thing you must never do - lose."
"Without a doubt, psychological warfare has proven its right to a place of dignity in our military arsenal."
