James F. Byrnes People Quotations

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.

Freedom from militarism will give the German people the opportunity, if they will but seize it, to apply their great energies and abilities to the works of peace.

It is not in the interest of the German people or in the interest of world peace that Germany should become a pawn or a partner in a military struggle for power between the East and the West.

The German people were not denied, however, the possibility of improving their lot by hard work over the years. Industrial growth and progress were not denied them.

The American people want peace. They have long since ceased to talk of a hard or a soft peace for Germany.
