More Quotes from John Foster Dulles:
Economic and military power can be developed under the spur of laws and appropriations. But moral power does not derive from any act of Congress. It depends on the relations of a people to their God. It is the churches to which we must look to develop the resources for the great moral offensive that is required to make human rights secure, and to win a just and lasting peace.John Foster Dulles

John Foster Dulles

John Foster Dulles
We walked to the brink and we looked it in the face.
