No Army Has Ever Done So Much

I Know War As Few Other Men Now Living Know It, And Nothing To Me Is More Revolting. I Have Long Advocated Its Complete Abolition, As Its Very Destructiveness On Both Friend And Foe Has Rendered It Useless As A Means Of Settling International Disputes... But Once War Is Forced Upon Us, There Is No Other Alternative Than To Apply Every Available Means To Bring It To A Swift End.

While No Man In His Right Mind Would Advocate Sending Our Ground Forces Into Continental China, And Such Was Never Given A Thought, The New Situation Did Urgently Demand A Drastic Revision Of Strategic Planning If Our Political Aim Was To Defeat This New Enemy As We Had Defeated The Old.

Nobody Grows Old By Merely Living A Number Of Years. People Grow Old Only By Deserting Their Ideals. Years May Wrinkle The Skin, But To Give Up Interest Wrinkles The Soul. Worry, Doubt, Self-distrust, Fear And Despair; These Are The Long, Long Years That Bow The Head And Turn The Growing Spirit Back To Dust. Whatever Your Years, There Is In Every Being's Heart The Love Of Wonder, The Undaunted Challenge Of Events, The Unfailing Childlike Appetite For What Next, And The Joy And The Game Of Life.

Years Wrinkle The Skin. Giving Up Wrinkles The Soul.

Men Since The Beginning Of Time Have Sought Peace.
