I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. (31 August 1959)

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

You don't lead by hitting people over the head-that's assault, not leadership.

We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.

People in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than governments.

One day the people of the world will want peace
so much that the governments will have to get out
of their way and give it to them.
