Sacredness of human life! The world has never believed it! It has been with life that we settled our quarrels, won wives, gold and land, defended ideas, imposed religions. We have held that a death toll was a necessary part of every human achievement, whether sport, war or industry. A moment's rage over the horror of it, and we have sunk into indifference.

The quest of the truth had been born in me - the most tragic and incomplete, as well as the most essential, of man's quests.

My whole theory for the improvement of society is based on a belief in the discipline and the education of the individual to self-control and right doing, for the sake of right doing. I have never seen fundamental improvements imposed from the top by ordinances and laws.

The first and most imperative necessity in war is money, for money means everything else -- men, guns, ammunition.

My final comment is that I still believe this man [John D. Rockefeller] is corrupt and he used unfair ways to become wealthy, all he cared about was his money and wasn't considered.

A popular disturbance never remains long in the full control of those who start it.

Imagination is the only key to the future. Without it none exists - with it all things are possible.
