I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.

我对战争的了解，是现在活着的人当中很少有人知道的，对我来说，没有什么比战争更令人反感的了。我长期以来一直主张彻底废除它，因为它对朋友和敌人的破坏性使它无法作为解决国际争端的一种方法。
