Great quote. If I am not mistaken, he also said something very close to: "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence upon our enemies".

Or you might consider

"We live in a great and free country only because our forefathers were willing to wage war rather than accept the peace that spells destruction."
