...think Aristotle is being used. What about the other guys that we've been supposedly worshiping and revering all these years: Jesus, Gandhi, Schweitzer, et al.? Jesus allowed himself to be crucified, and he was nearly as good and right as we are. They all say one and the same thing. Anyone who has any spiritual development or a good sense of reality must conclude that nuclear war is out of the question and should not be considered as solving ''anything" or prepared for by any nation...
...lucky that there was no United Nations organization in the days when the American colonies started to secede. If there had been such a thing, it very probably would have passed a resolution, by a majority of Japanese, Thailanders, Afghans, et al., that the revolution would be considered a threat to world peace.

...Roman Catholic Church, Niebuhr writes in the Christian Century, "is not entirely foolish" when it sees rebellion against the law of God in the disintegration of the medieval mixture of Scripture and philosophy, political power and spiritual prestige. "From the standpoint of the Mater et Magistra encyclical," he says, "what could be clearer than that the path from the Thomistic theory of a just price based upon labor value, to the theory of Adam Smith, guaranteeing social justice by the automatic balances of a free market, descends steeply from the heights of justice to the morass of private greed...
