Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes. Action, to be effective, must be directed to clearly conceived ends. The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all. A theory must be tempered with reality. Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse. It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new; when an age ends; and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance. Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction. We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. |
