Let us further make it evident that we use no words which we are not which prepared to back up with deeds, and that while our speech is always moderate, we are ready and willing to make it good.

„We have fought this war and won it. Now let us not be sanctimonious; nor hypocritical; nor vengeful; nor stupid.

To do this we must educate and re-educate. But first we must educate ourselves.“
— Ernest Hemingway
