The key to the utilization of atomic energy for world peace will be found in the will of all people to restrict its use for the betterment of mankind.

[I]t is tragic that the forces for destruction that we unleashed are stronger than man's present ability to control them.

We will be misguided in our intentions if we point at one single thing and say that it will prevent war, unless, of course, that thing happens to be the will, the determination, and the resolve of people everywhere that nations will never again clash on the battlefield.

People who talk of outlawing the atomic bomb are mistaken - what needs to be outlawed is war.
