Patriotism is a noble feeling insofar as it approaches that which is purely human, but the very reverse the further it is removed therefrom.

Without peace, there is no freedom, individual or national. War and hostilities are a form of slavery.

Without peace, there is nothing truly human. Peace is harmony. And harmony is the highest ideal of life.

Without [hope and] confidence in a cause, there is no action. Ignorance may be enlightened, superstition wiped out; intolerance may become tolerant, and hate be changed into love; ideas may be quickened, intelligence widened, and men's hearts may be ennobled; but from pessimism which can see nothing but gloomy visions nothing is to be expected.

Man's nature is fundamentally good, or perhaps it is neither good nor evil. In any case, man is something to work on. We must hold fast to this fact - man is something to work on.
