You are not going to get peace with millions of armed men. The chariot of peace cannot advance over a road littered with cannon.

If you're quiet, and you don't speak out, you're never going to get anything accomplished.

If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.

I am the last man in the world to say that the succor which is given us from America is not in itself something to rejoice at greatly. But I also say that I can see more in the knowledge that America is going to win a right to be at the conference table when the terms of peace are discussed. . . . It would have been a tragedy for mankind if America had not been there, and there with all her influence and power.

You cannot advance if you cannot visualize the end from the start.

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.
