“The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages, though it is apt to be also the most terrible and inhuman. The rude, fierce settler who drives the savage from the land lays all civilized mankind under a debt to him. ...[I]t is of incalculable importance that America, Australia, and Siberia should pass out of the hands of their red, black, and yellow aboriginal owners, and become the heritage of the dominant world races.” WorldShouldWarHandsAmericaBlackRaceLandMankindTerribleRedImportanceLaysDebtAustraliaOwnersCivilizedHeritageYellowRighteousFierceSavagesDominantRudeInhumanAboriginalSettlersSiberia Author:Theodore Roosevelt

“The so-called Philosophy of India is even more blowsy and senseless than the metaphysics of the West. It is at war with everything we know of the workings of the human mind, and with every sound idea formulated by mankind. If it prevailed in the whole modern world we'd still be in the Thirteenth Century; nay, we'd be back among the Egyptians of the pyramid age. Its only coherent contribution to Western thought has been theosophy-and theosophy is as idiotic as Christian Science.

When children are raised in such a hostile and violent environment, how can we hope for a harmonious future for all people of this world? In this light, the purpose of human life is to achieve our own spiritual evolution, to get rid of negativity, to establish harmony among our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual quadrants, to learn to live in harmony within the family, community, nation, ..treating all of mankind as brothers and sisters.” PeopleWorldHumansChildrenLightSpiritualLife IsPurposeNationsCommunityLeaderEnvironmentAchieveMankindThis WorldEmotionalBrotherEvolutionIntellectualHarmonyRaisedViolentHuman LifeCivilizedOur FutureNegativityBrothers And SistersHostileHarmoniousSexuallySpiritual Evolution Author:Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
“In two weeks the sheeplike masses of any country can be worked up by the newspapers into such a state of excited fury that men are prepared to put on uniforms and kill and be killed, for the sake of the sordid ends of a few interested parties.
