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.

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 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.

There are those who believe we have need of more literature, of a large international publishing house, of a great peace newspaper, or the like. I am rather skeptical about this idea.

Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name.

If you could get all the people in the organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time.

I want to be a simple bride when I get married. I want a beach wedding where I am running around on the sand in a white dress.

New technologies are wreaking havoc on employment figures - from EZpasses ousting toll collectors to Google-controlled self-driving automobiles rendering taxicab drivers obsolete.

There's always a tomorrow and the hope of something new.

I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.

You're my favorite part of the day and every morning I look forward to seeing your face.

The way you get better is putting words on the page and getting them behind you.

Life isn't easy, no matter where you are. You'll make choices you think are right, and then suffer for them.

I've come to the point in my life where I encourage young Native Americans to become much more selfish about their personal needs and wants.
