His role in the effort to bring peace to the Congo and the Middle East will be widely remembered for many years to come.

I believe that this ill-timed measure should be rejected, and that our efforts should be directed toward the positive tasks and the great opportunities for achieving a real peace that lie before us.

It was clear that what we really need is a peace to end all wars.

It is an indication of progress that has been made and continues to be made toward the goal that we all seek: the control of instruments of mass destruction, so that we can reduce the danger of war.

We must increase our spending for defense in order to carry out the Nation's strategy for peace.

There needs to be something more than the mere absence of war in life.

I will not be satisfied until I do not have to write any letter at all to the next of kin of somebody killed in Vietnam.

But we are on the way out and we are on the way out in a way that will bring a just peace.

I firmly believe that, in this Christmas season, we can look forward with greater confidence than at any time since World War II to the prospect that our children can have, at last, what we all devoutly hope for: a generation of peace.

This Christmas we can be thankful that we are making progress toward peace.

The peace and friendship between our two nations would be perpetual.

Our two countries have interests in the world, interests in progress and peace and justice, all of those very simple words but which have such great meaning, which are similar and common and that we work together to achieve those interests.

We find that in the spirit of Christmas, in the spirit of peace, we can put aside what divides us and rediscover what really unites us--the concern for one another, the love of liberty and justice, the knowledge that we are a great Nation because we are a great and diverse people.

You have understood, and have brought others to understand, the full dimensions of the contribution which the United Nations can make and must make to a world of peace and justice.

I am sorry that this is so, but until men and nations are content to leave one another in peace it will be so.

The fires of religious hatred have been dampened.

Do we believe that these things can come about peacefully?

I want--more than any human being in all the world--to see the killing stopped.
