- "A faith is something you die for, a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world."

- "All war represents a failure of diplomacy."
- "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world.
