(Englisch: "[...] no torrent of words, and no Niagara of dollars will produce anything but bitterness and disillusionment. We, who are living in Asia and Africa during this period of Asian and African nationalism, and particularly those of us who have been called upon to guide the destiny of nations, we ask that the rest of the world should show understanding and sympathy. [...] We will accept with the greatest appreciation any assistance that may come to us, from whatever quarter it may come, for that assistance will lighten our burdens and shorten our struggle. Such assistance is not one-sided but is of mutual benefit. [...] But, from whatever quarter of this divided globe that assistance comes, we are determined that no material advantage will buy from us any part of our hard-won freedom, for that freedom is more dear to us than the products which any country can give or sell. We welcome assistance on terms of mutual benefit. We reject the idea of exchanging intellectual and spiritual independence or physical liberty for momentary advantage." - Address to the joint session of the Congress of the United States, in: Toward Freedom and the Dignity of Man: a collection of five speeches. Dept. of Foreign Affairs Djakarta 1961. p. 26 - 34

English: In the initial period after the coup effort, Sukarno apparently hoped for an interval during which passions would die down. Early in December [1965] he adopted a new tack. In an address to the People's Consultative Congress, he went so far as to describe the Communists as "rats which have eaten a big part of the cake and tried to eat the pillar of our house." He added, "Now let's catch these rats, and I will punish them, but in catching the rats we should not burn the house." - Robert Shaplen: Time Out of Hand - Revolution and Reaction in Southeast Asia. Harper & Row, 1969. p. 128
