"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 wort
h living, the kind
that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for
their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and
women--not merely peace in our time but peace for all time."
"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.
"And is not
peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights--the right to
live out our lives without fear of devastation--the right to breathe air as
nature provided it--the right of future generations to a healthy
existence?"
"We shall also
do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong
are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success.
Confident and unafraid, we labor on" - President John F. Kennedy >entire speech<
