Poetry even when apparently most fantastic is always a revolt against artifice a revolt in a sense against actuality.

I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things to me are expressions of love.

From 1836 down to last year there is no proof of the Government having any confidence in the duration of peace or possessing increased security against war.

Only the change on the international scene the crisis in the gulf and the strong firm position of the United States against aggression between two Arab countries created realities that led to the Madrid Peace Conference.

Nothing is more important in the preservation of peace than to secure among the great mass of the people living under constitutional government a just conception of the rights which their nation has against others and of the duties their nation owes to others.

Are ideals confined to this deformed experiment upon a noble purpose tainted as it is with bargains and tied to a peace treaty which might have been disposed of long ago to the great benefit of the world if it had not been compelled to carry this rider on its back?

Each one of these treaties is a step for the maintenance of peace an additional guarantee against war. It is through such machinery that the disputes between nations will be settled and war prevented.

Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling breathing and being peace that we can make peace.

Everyone has that friend who's every day like 'I hate my nose I hate my nose I hate my nose.'

If we are to teach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war we shall have to begin with the children.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

Patriotism is an indispensable weapon in the defense of civilization against barbarism.

It seems that American patriotism measures itself against an outcast group. The right Americans are the right Americans because they're not like the wrong Americans who are not really Americans.
