...come out of Russia are certain, it is evident that the revolution shows tendencies, unformed but not the less foreboding, towards the course of the French Revolution. Already the Czar is held in that dark prison which, with grim satire, is dedicated to two Christian fathers. Already the mobs go up and down the street, shrieking for the liberty they cannot comprehend. The rule of the mob is always terrible, for under it all that is lofty vanishes. If only through the rule of the mob may the rule of the people find stability, then we must consign ourselves...
...foolish assertion that history repeats itself. But it is that men are much alike from generation to generation.

We have prevented to the best of our ability our boys from enlisting until they are of age. There will...
This is only the number of those who were ready to go without question and at once, according to the records. As the percentage of those who would go to war at the first call from a spirit of adventure is only about one-tenth or one-fifteenth of those who will willingly go when called upon (as the experience of England has shown) then we may count on four or six million men whose love of country, unlike their love of adventure, is superior to selfish motives of physical immunity...
