"Against naked force the only possible defense..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“What America needs now is a drink.”

“Frankly, I do not know how to effect a permanency in American foreign policy.”

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.”

“There are always dangers about. Therefore you must always keep your defences strong.”

“There is no record in the history of a nation that ever gained anything valuable by being unable to defend itself.”

“On the whole our armed services have been doing pretty well in the way of keeping us defended, but I hope our State Department will remember that it is really the department of achieving peace.”

“The more I study the world, the more I am convinced of the inability of brute force to create anything durable.”

“Force is all conquering, but it's victories are short lived.”

“Coercion cannot but result in chaos in the end.”
