This truth may be unfashionable, unpalatable, no doubt unpopular, but, if it is the truth, the story of mankind shows that war was universal and unceasing for millions of years before armaments were invented or armies organized. Indeed, the lucid intervals of peace and order only occurred in human history after armaments in the hands of strong governments have come into being, and civilization in every age has been nursed only in cradles guarded by superior weapons and superior discipline.

What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind? They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.

When our universe is in harmony with man, the eternal, we know it as truth, we feel it as beauty.

How much truth does a spirit endure, how much truth does it dare? That became for me the real measure of value.

All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.

One may sometimes tell a lie, but the grimace that accompanies it tells the truth.
