"For we know this: no military victory, no diplomatic triumph, no precision-perfect foreign policy of our own can mean very much for very long--if it does not bring hope to hundreds of millions of people who live today in fear or need or hunger. As surely as we seek lasting peace, we shall find it only as these people come to have faith in their own future in freedom."

Dwight D. Eisenhower, Radio Report to the American People on the Achievements of the Administration and the 83d Congress, 8/6/1953
