As a result of my study, I came to the conclusion that a common supreme authority was undesirable.

Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.

By a great man, however, we mean a man who, because of his spiritual gifts, his character, and other qualities, deserves to be called great and who as a result earns the power to influence others.

A sign that a peace association is going adrift is its exclusion of other political parties, with whom it could collaborate effectively on most of the problems besetting the cause of peace.

Pacifists should stress more and more that it is the rule of law for which they are fighting.

Warfare has been marvelously developed. It will soon be impossible to raise it to further heights.

But I feel convinced, and I venture even to prophesy in this regard, that the time will come when there will also be a minister of peace in the cabinet, seated beside the ministers of war.

There are in most states one or two ministers of war, one of whom is the minister of naval affairs.

Always we must bear in mind that law has to be substituted for power, that care must be taken to serve the interests of law.

The interparliamentary conference should, in my opinion, direct its particular attention to the preparation of the next Hague Conference, the diplomatic conference, the conference of governments.

The last Hague Conference has in the meantime expressed its opinion that a body should be established which could prepare for the work involved more effectively than has hitherto proved possible.

In the past, I always used to be looking for answers. Today, I know there are only questions. So I just live.

Honor bright! Fair play is a jewel!

We live in an age that is driven by information. Technological breakthroughs... are changing the face of war and how we prepare for war.

I just wrapped this movie called 'The Wedding Crashers' which was a pretty big break for me.

I used to play bass for a while and got to the point where I was good enough to be in a shitty band.

There’s just something hypnotic about maps.

He neither serves nor rules, he transmits. His position is humble and the beauty at the crown is not his own. He is merely a channel.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.

Symmetry is tedious, and tedium is the very basis of mourning. Despair yawns.

As you help men to grow, as you work for peace, understanding and good will, your influence will merge, with the good influences of men of every age, into the eternal golden stream of God's goodness.
