Indeed, whenever a new idea is developed, as for example ballooning, warfare immediately takes possession.

The interparliamentary conference should, in my opinion, direct its particular attention to the preparation of the next Hague Conference, the diplomatic conference, the conference of governments.

Warfare has been marvelously developed. It will soon be impossible to raise it to further heights.

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

Peace congresses often start by dealing with some of the less important questions in excessive detail, so at the end there is no time to discuss the most important problems.

There are in most states one or two ministers of war, one of whom is the minister of naval affairs.

Always we must bear in mind that law has to be substituted for power, that care must be taken to serve the interests of law.
