My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.

Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.

Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by power and by force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.

Most mistakes in philosophy and logic occur because the human mind is apt to take the symbol for the reality.

One does not make wars less likely by formulationg rules of warfare... war cannot be humanized. It can only be eliminated.

Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and in general more sensible... then may the Devil take you!

The war is won, but the peace is not.
