"What kind of peace do we seek?"
"Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave, I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living... not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women not merely peace in our time but peace for all time."
"And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity, for in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."
