America cannot commit to go to war on behalf of 50 countries around the world because that is the formula that is one day going to break down and break out into war.
I don't have any problem with the United States acting on behalf of its own interests. That's what big powers do; that's what all countries do. I would just like to see us analyze in a serious way what really is in our interest. Sometimes we intervene in foreign countries in ways that seem successful at first. In the end, however, we wind up with unpredicted consequences that make us regret those operations.
I have no worries myself, nor do I exude or possess within my living stratus any reason why someone should worry [on] my behalf.

My precious brothers and sisters, I come to you today speaking on behalf of Christ, His love and His mercy for us all. Jesus came to set the captives free. And He Himself said that whoever the Son sets free, is free indeed . . . We love you with Christ's love, unconditionally and always.
The worst service, I fancy, that anyone can do for truth, is to set silly people writing on its behalf.

Spiritual warfare is the unseen battle God wages on your behalf.
I definitely think men can be leaders. I see an analogy in the case of what helped me think about racism, which was to find parallels with sexism. In other words, I don't think I was such a great ally until I got mad on my own behalf.
The protection of God cannot, without sacrilege, be invoked but in behalf of justice and right.
The genius of the tradition as it has developed in America is the unique combination of giving and voluntary service in behalf of independent organizations and institutions devoted to the public interest.
