“To arbitrate is better than to fight.”

“The future will belong to those who will have done the most for suffering humanity.”

“Humanity must be our country.”

“The work of peace is a long and arduous one, but it is the noblest work of all.”

“Peace will be the masterpiece of man.”

“The peoples must be associated with the government of their own destinies.”

“It is not enough to want peace, one must believe in it. And it is not enough to believe in it, one must work for it.”

“War is the bankruptcy of statesmanship.”
