"I know that every loyal American citizen desires lasting peace based on freedom and justice for all men."
"We must not fall victim to the insidious propaganda that peace can be obtained solely by wanting peace."
"The people of the United States have learned that peace will not come in response to soft words and vague wishes."
"We must be prepared to pay the price for peace, or assuredly we shall pay the price of war."
