"Whatever we do or fail to do will influence the course of history." ― Arthur Henderson Topic(s): History More From Arthur Henderson "Moreover, war has become a thing potentially so terrible and destructive that it should have been the common aim of statesmen to put an end to it forever." "The forces that are driving mankind toward unity and peace are deep-seated and powerful. They are material and natural, as well as moral and intellectual." "Four years of world war, at a cost in human suffering which our minds are mercifully too limited to imagine, led to the very clear realization that international anarchy must be abandoned if civilization was to survive."

If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed, I don’t know what is."― Jennifer Granholm "The positive testimony of history is that the State invariably had its origin in conquest and confiscation. No primitive State known to history originated in any other manner."― Albert J. Nock
