“It is part of the moral tragedy with which we are dealing that words like 'democracy,' 'freedom,' 'rights,' 'justice,' which have so often inspired heroism and have led men to give their lives for things which make life worthwhile, can also become a trap, the means of destroying the very things men desire to uphold.” MenGivingMeanWarDesireJusticeMoralDemocracyRightsTragedyInspiredDestroyingWorthwhileAntiwarHeroismTrapsDemocracy Freedom Author:Norman Angell
“The obstacles to peace are in the minds and hearts of men. In the study of matter we can be honest, impartial, true. That is why we succeed in dealing with it.
