• El valor de los hombres consiste en su capacidad de persuasión. Pueden persuadir y pueden ser persuadidos por la revelación de alternativas, las mejores y las peores. La civilización es el mantenimiento del orden social, por su propia capacidad de persuasión inherente como encarnación de la alternativa más noble. El recurso a la fuerza, sin embargo, inevitable, es una revelación del fracaso de la civilización, ya sea en la sociedad en general o en un remanente de individuos. Así, en una civilización viva siempre hay un elemento de malestar.

The world has had ample evidence that war begets only conditions that beget further war.
