“Whatever enables us to go to war, secures our peace”

“Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power.Life just has to go on!”

“If this phrase the 'balance of power' is to always be an argument for war, the pretense for war will never be wanting, and peace can never be secure.”

“Where resides the comforting knowledge of history's vast, cyclical sweep, the ebb and flow of wars and peace? Peace is the time of waiting for war. A time of preparation, or a time of willful ignorance, blind, blinkered and prattling behind secure walls.”

“If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace. ”

“The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security.”
