Let us work together until the day comes when they beat their swords into plowshares.

Let those who would shatter peace be aware that we three will vigorously wage peace.

The way is long and the way is hard, but peace is the way.

Today we celebrate a victory—not of a bloody military campaign, but of an inspiring peace campaign.

We cannot enforce trust and cooperation between nations, but we can see that nations do not again go to war.

I think we've proven today, and in the last 18 months or so, that there can be peace between our three nations and an inspiration for the whole world.

I have hopes, dreams, and prayers, yes, but no illusions.

Tonight we commemorate not an end, but a beginning.

Today we've signed a peace treaty when both nations have won.

We pray to God that at last the children of Abraham have come to a time of peace.

We must not minimize the obstacles which still lie ahead.

Peace is active, not passive; peace is doing, not waiting.

We've prayed for peace, and we have worked for peace.

I am pleased to be able to confirm that the Government of Israel is agreeable to the procedure set out in your letter.

We place our trust in the God of our fathers from whom we seek wisdom and guidance.

Only by assessing it as a partnership and not trying to find a scapegoat can we possibly succeed.

It's time that we take control of Federal regulations in America, instead of regulations continuing to control us.

To this end, we ask that Monday, March 26, be a day of prayer around the world.

Every person deserves the opportunity to contribute to society and achieve their potential.

We are grateful to the people around the world who joined us in prayer.

Broadcasting is helping to break down barriers of time and distance.

I think perhaps a hundred years from now, what occurs tomorrow may be the most significant occurrence during my own term of office as President.

The call for regulatory reform is not a demand that all regulation be abolished; it's a call for common sense.

My administration has no intention of introducing legislation like that.

I believe the public interest can best be served by a broadcasting industry which is healthy, independent, and diverse.
