If in the modern world wars have unfortunately to be fought (and they do, it seems) then they must be stopped at the first possible moment, otherwise they corrupt us, they create new problems and make our future even more uncertain. That is more than morality; it's sense.
I have long believed that the only way peace can be achieved is through world government.
All the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible, so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that can no longer be split into isolated fragments.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism?the way you play it is free will.
The art of a people is a true mirror to their minds.

No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress.

A great disaster is a symbol to us to remember all the big things of life and forget the small things, of which we have thought too much.
