To read the report of a discussion in which arguments for and against are presented, in which a subject has been covered from different points of view, with new ideas advanced - this is far more instructive than to read a brief account of the resolution passed on the matter.

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.

As a result of my study, I came to the conclusion that a common supreme authority was undesirable.

Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.

Naturally, business and pleasure can be readily combined, but a certain balance should exist, and the latter should not predominate over the former.

I would rather propose a bureau somewhat similar to that which we have in the Universal Postal Union.

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.
