「我衷心期盼——這也正是全人類共同的期盼——從這莊嚴的一刻起,一個更美好的世界,將自過往的鮮血與殺戮中誕生;一個建立在信念與理解之上的世界;一個致力於維護人類尊嚴,並實現人類最珍視願望——自由、寬容與正義——的世界。
「讓我們共同祈禱,願和平從此重臨世界,並願上帝永遠守護這份和平。儀式到此結束。」
——道格拉斯・麥克阿瑟將軍

"It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that from this solemn occasion, a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past — a world founded upon faith and understanding — a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish — for freedom, tolerance and justice.
"Let us pray that peace be now restored to the world, and that God will preserve it always. These proceedings are closed."
General Douglas MacArthur
September 2, 1945 — End of World War II
