“It is very important for I think those of us who desperately want peace, who see war as, at some level, a break-down, a manifestation of human weakness, to understand that sometimes it’s also necessary – and you know, to – to be able to balance two ideas at the same time; that we are constantly striving for peace, we are doubling up on our diplomacy, we are going to actively engage, we are going to try to see the world through other people’s eyes and not just our own.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWorldWantTryingHumansTwoImportantIdeasWarSometimesEyeAbleLevelsBreakBalanceEmpathyWeaknessStriveManifestationBreaking DownDiplomacy Author:Barack Obama
“Liberty without discipline cannot survive. Without order and authority in the spirit of man the free way of life leads through weakness, disorganization, self-indulgence, and moral indifference to the destruction of freedom itself. The tragic ordeal through which the Western world is passing was prepared in the long period of easy liberty during which men forgot the elementary truths of human existence. They forgot that their freedom was achieved by heroic sacrifice.” MenWorldWayLifeLongSelfSpiritOrderEasyLibertyMoralRightsSacrificeDutyPeriodsAuthorityWeaknessDestructionPreparedWesternCleverPassingPassingsPreparationIndifferenceTragicEnlightenedHeroicSensibleCynicalCynicismIndulgenceWestern WorldOrdealsSelf IndulgenceDisorganization Author:Walter Lippmann
