#Human Nature
"The hunger for peace is too great, the hour in history too late, for any government to mock men's hopes with mere words and promises and gestures. There is, before all peoples, a precarious chance to turn the black tide of events. If we failed to strive to seize this chance, the judgment of future ages will be harsh and just. If we strive but fail and the world remains armed against itself, it at least would need be divided no longer in its clear knowledge of who has condemned humankind to this fate."
