Nature comes home to one most when one is at home. The stranger and traveler finds her a stranger and traveler also.

The thing that I focus on because I don't think it gets enough attention is that among the world's major powers, there is still a nuclear balance of terror - I'm talking about between the United States and Russia, the United States and China.

That which distinguishes this day from all others is that then both orators and artillerymen shoot blank cartridges.

Then, again, how annoying to be told it is only five miles to the next place when it is really eight or ten!

[Nuclear weapons] now I think I mentioned around 27,000 and during the Cold War the total global arsenal was on the order of 70,000.

In the order of nature we may behold the ways of the Eternal.

Maybe that will happen with other countries as well. And so, that's why one of the things that groups like mine that work for the elimination of nuclear weapons and work for their marginalization in the meantime, we say you have to diminish the political value that's attached to nuclear weapons in order to give them less (kind of) desirability in the eyes of governments that do not now have them, and thus to help stop their spread.
