There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives.

That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.

Doubt is the vestibule through which all must pass before they can enter into the temple of wisdom.

Every nation whose affairs betray a want of wisdom and stability may calculate on every loss which can be sustained from the more systematic policy of its wiser neighbors.

Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.

Wisdom is that apprehension of heavenly things to which the spirit rises through love.

The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.

We had four years of world war which the peoples endured only because they were told that their sufferings would free humanity forever from the scourge of war.

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.

It is inhuman to continue a war which could easily be ended.

Everything everything in war is barbaric... But the worst barbarity of war is that it forces men collectively to commit acts against which individually they would revolt with their whole being.

In war whichever side may call itself the victor there are no winners but all are losers.
